Overview
When you install the Code42 app on a new computer (or after reinstalling the operating system on your existing computer), CrashPlan creates a new computer ID under your account and gives you the option to adopt your previous settings. If this option disappears, you can bring it back by manually assigning a new computer ID following the steps below.
Recommended solution
Step 1: Assign a new computer id
- Open the Code42 app.
- Double-click the CrashPlan logo in the upper-right corner.
The CrashPlan command-line area opens. - Enter:

This command signs you out of the Code42 app.
Step 2: Adopt previous computer

- Click Adopt and select the original computer
The Code42 app's original settings are restored - If you are adopting a previous computer on a new computer, verify your file selection includes folders on your new computer that you want backed up
