    To anyone who comes across this post in future.
    All my Crashplan backup clients (Linux & Windows) eventually failed
    whe
    n the 4.2.0 update rolled through.
    I ended going with option 1, creating a Linux KVM instance and
    installi
    ng Crashplan there.
    Usefully, Crashplan allows you to adopt a computer and I was able to
    co
    ntinue backups where they stopped by making the existing Solaris
    archives visible to the Linux Crashplan KVM.
    regards,
    Guo-Rong
