Back up volumes in Linux

Overview

Mounted drives in the /Volumes folder on Linux systems must be manually added to your backup file selection from the CrashPlan web app. This tutorial describes how to add drives from the /Volumes folder.

Considerations

• When adding file paths to your backup selection, all characters are case sensitive.
• Any additional changes to your backup file selection for the drives within the /Volumes folder must be made from the administration console. Once added to your backup file selection, you are unable to modify your selection from the CrashPlan app.

Steps

1. Open a web browser and go to the administration console.
   Consult your administrator for the URL.
2. Sign in with your account credentials.
3. Select Administration > Devices > Active.
4. Select the device to which the drive is connected.
5. Click the Action Menu.
6. Select Edit.
   
7. Click Backup.
8. Under Included files, add the file path of the drive.
9. Click to add the selection.
10. Click Save.
