[QUOTE="BudVitoff, post: 1844095, member: 211650"] Okay, CrashPlan replied to the following message that I sent to them: "Recently, a champion mentioned briefly that CrashPlan does not work with Apple Mail because of a difference in file structure, or something like that. I am currently defending CrashPlan in a forum and I need to be more specific. Please tell me as much as you can about this file structure incompatibility." The following is their reply (underlined items were links in their message that did not survive the copy/paste to put them here): Hello Bud, Thank you for contacting Code42 Support. If you're talking about CrashPlan backing those files up, then it's possible yes. Apple mail has many small constantly changing parts, this can cause issues because of how our [U]File Manifests[/U] work. CrashPlan uses two types of manifests to keep track of both the files in your archive (FMF), and all of the versions of those files (HDF). When these manifests grow in size beyond a certain point, it can lead to multiple issues with both the efficiency of your backups, and your ability to restore files from your archive. It's possible that some may see the symptoms listed below: • Prolonged [U]File Synchronization[/U] and [U]File Verification Scans[/U] time • Prolonged [U]Archive Maintenance[/U] duration • Inability to restore files in the event of migrating to a new device, or a disaster The best way to prevent this from occurring would be to: • Adjusting the devices [U]File Selection[/U] to potentially remove Apple Mail. • Adjusting the [U]Versioning and Retention settings[/U] and change the remove deleted files setting to something other than never. • Initiate [U]Archive Maintenance[/U] to apply the changes above Regards, Segen G. Code42 Technical Support Contact us via live chat support So that’s the story. I didn’t understand most of what they said, and I did not take any of the links; however, one item caught my eye: "Adjusting the devices [U]File Selection[/U] to potentially remove Apple Mail." I understand that, because "File Selection" is how the user determines what files get backed up, and typically that value is checked to back up everything in the Users folder. I’m passing this on to you because I said I would, but I’m not going to pursue this any further. I’ve purchased Outlook for Mac and Emailchemy and I hope that the conversion will be smooth. That remains to be seen. [/QUOTE]
