Hi,
does anyone have experiences with running Crashplan in Qubes? If yes,
how did you install it?

I installed it in a StandaloneVM with the installer's default options.
(As I'm guessing you've discovered, attempting to install it in an
AppVM with the default options doesn't allow it to persist across
reboots since it tries to install parts of itself to the read-only
root filesystem.)

Ok, thanks. And then you transfer the data from the other VMs to that VM

to back it up via Crashplan? Sounds like a lot of redundant data or do
you have multiple disks (like a fast SSD for daily usage and a slow
spinning disk for your backup-VM) in your computer?

Hi Andrew, just to confirm my understanding...
You put your Qubes backups on a standalone VM which has Crashplan installed so these backups can be selected as files and stored offsite on another machine?

I installed it twice, once on the template so the service would start and run, and also on the VM so that the client side would be persistent. Used the default options both times. It works.

Yes, that's certainly another way to do it. I didn't want it installed in any of my templates, so I opted for a StandaloneVM. Whichever you prefer is fine.

qubes-core-agent-linux package. This should let certain directories
persist for good in any AppVM (but, of course you don't want to do that
for system dirs like /usr/bin and such).
