CrashPlan Backup to Synology NAS
Situation:
I want to use CrashPlan to not only backup to ‘the cloud’, but also to my Synology DS410 – BUT – CrashPlan will only allow you to choose local folders to back up to, not shared network drives. Crap.
The Solution!
After reading another article, the solution is rather simple. What we need is a symbolic link on our computer pointing to the shared network drive. Here’s what I did:
1. Create a folder on the NAS, granting everyone permission to read/write
2. Open a command prompt
3. Use the command ‘mklink’ as so (replacing the paths to match your setup/desires):
mklink /D "C:\Backups (NAS)\" "\\yourNas\SharedFolder\"
4. Go back into CrashPlan, and select “Folders” under “Destinations”. Click the button for “Select” under step 1 and browse out to the folder you created in step 3.
5. Enjoy.

A Beginner’s Guide to PowerBuilder eBook – Coming Eventually!
I’ve decided that I want to write a beginner’s level PowerBuilder book. Since the print industry is losing steam (in my opinion), I’m going to self-publish it on Amazon.
I’d like to hear your thoughts on things that I should include, or not include. The idea right now is to use PowerBuilder 12.5 Classic, so if you have any thoughts/ideas, please share them!
Also, I’ll be posting my progress on here on the ‘Book’ page, once progress actually starts to happen
