How to Get Help

Our Support team is happy to help if you can't find the answer you're looking for on the Support wiki or in the forums. You can email us at support@crashplanproe.com.

Help Request Format

Include the following information when you contact Support via email to help us investigate your issue faster:

  • Operating system and version of relevant system(s)
  • CrashPlan version
    • PRO Client: Settings > Account
    • PRO Server: Home > Organizational Summary
  • Detailed description of the question or problem
  • Screen shots of errors where applicable
  • Tell us if you are a hosted PRO Server customer

Submitting Log Files

Occasionally the Support team will ask you to send us your client or server logs to get a more in depth understanding of the problem.

PRO Server Logs

Archive and send the entire server log directory. These logs compress well, but if the resulting file is too large, you do not need to zip these directories and files:

  • batch-status directory
  • client-logs directory
  • request* logs
  • access* logs

PRO Client Logs

If you have access to the client and the UI starts, issue the dump all command before archiving the logs. To send the logs simply archive the entire log folder and attach them to an email to support. Please provide a full description of the problem.

If you don't have access to the client and it's connected to your server, navigate to the client in the web admin and request the client logs. The latest log will be stored on your server. Archive the file and attach to an email to support.
