      What do you have to do to get the B2 script working on a Windows box? Install python?

      Do you mean the one that John provided? That's BASH, not Python. You'd need to install BASH.

        @BRRABill I've only used the home version for $5/month per computer. This page has info on the business version:
        https://www.backblaze.com/business.html

        I know I'm really late to this - but you pay $5/month ($60/yr) and their business plan for unlimited workstation backup is less, at $50/yr? are you going to switch?

          I haven't looked at BackBlaze yet, but CrashPlan has some features on the personal side that might make more sense for home users. MIGHT. 🙂

              One of the big things is that you can backup up to 10 machines for $12.50 a month, where with the business plan each one has to be $10 a month. Of course that may or or may not work in a business setting (I know businesses who do that, backup every machine to one main account) but at home it's generally fine.

              You can also do peer-to-peer backup which is not available in the business setting.

              They also didn't used to have restore-to-door on the business side, but they now do. (Seems odd not to.) If you want to pay $299.

              CrashPlan charges $10 for business, and $5 for the "home" version. But I've set 1 person businesses up on the "home" plan, which CrashPlan is fine with.

                Business plan has a minimum 5 seat order. 🙂 Unless they've changed that recently.

                  OK, sadly on BB's side, they don't say that on the page.

                    @JaredBusch Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think about the mklink aspect. I have also searched for ways around this for quite some time.

                      That's still a great price, even if it hasn't changed from a 5 order minimum.

                        Anyone know if the mklink requires a user be logged in on that system?

                          It does as far as I know, because my CrashPlan Pro at one location fails to see the NAS folder on C:\Backup after the PC reboots until I log in.

                          Never looked for a way around it.

                            @JaredBusch Hmm. I was thinking of incorporating this method into a filemaker server DB backup, as it requires you to backup to a "local" drive for some strange reason but maybe I will continue creating a copy script to put it on my NAS.

                              Can you make the CrashPlan service log in with your credentials?

                              That's what I had to do when I was using EFS. (Though I believe it now supports it if installed as each user without doing the logon as service route.)

                                Yeah, you can do that. Just modify the service to log on as whatever user you need it to log on as. IIRC, though, they don't officially support this.
