Crashplan backups not connecting to headless server anymore.

The crashplan 4.3.0 version now has a secure gui method for connecting.

Install the software on your linux headless machine.

Then install a local copy on your client that will connect.


Now get the secure key using this method


  1. login to headless server
  2. cat /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info
  3. copy the results of information
  4. go to remote machine with gui
  5. copy information into local file .ui_info
  6. port forward to remote machine
  7. start up the gui interface

Now it will connect.
