What gets backed up?
Code42 CrashPlan has been configured to backup only data stored within the user's profile (this includes the desktop and documents folders). This means C:\users\<username>. Other folders outside of this location will not be backed up.
There are a few exceptions. Executables, ISO images, MP3s, Virtual Disks and temporary files will be excluded from automated backup and not backed up.

Set Up & Sign In
If CrashPlan is not installed on your computer, you can install it via Portal Manager.
CrashPlan does require you to sign into the service once before . After that, it will automatically start backing up their your laptop. Here's how:
Start by launching Code42 CrashPlan located in your start menu.
Once launched, enter your RIT Username followed by @rit.edu for the Username and backup.rit.edu for the Server Address. Click Continue. When prompted, use your RIT password to complete the sign in.
Once signed in, the software will automatically start scanning your system for files to backup.
While it is scanning, you will need to manually add a destination for the backup to reside. To set this up, click on Add destinations
Check Datacenter - Ross Hall and click Save
You will then see a progress of your backup. The initial backup will take some time and will run in the background. You do not need to wait for it to complete before disconnecting from the network or turning your computer off. It will pick up where it left off the next time it has a network connection.
No further action is required once the backup begins. Everything will then be automatic.
Click Continue.
