Hey there! Follow the steps below to create an integration between CrashPlan and Backup Radar.

What you'll need:

• Admin access to a CrashPlan account.
Note: This article captures third-party steps and/or an interface that may have since been updated.

  2. Fill out the First Name, Last Name, and Password fields.

  3. The email address for this user needs to match your registered Backup Radar email address. Under Email Address, enter one of the following and click Add User:
    1. Your Backup Radar email address (you can find it in Backup Radar under Integration > Mailboxes).
      Note: The drawback to choosing this option is that you won't be able to read marketing/promotional/account notification emails sent to you from CrashPlan.
    2. A distribution group email address with two recipients:
      • Your Backup Radar email address (this can be found in your Backup Radar account under Integration > Mailboxes).
      • The email address to which you would like to receive CrashPlan marketing/promotional/account notifications.
