I haven't used CrashPlan in years and seems to be a completely different setup since I last used them. Is starting the process new supposed to be the most glacial thing ever? I've been sat at the 'preparing for backup' stage for an hour or two, and it's counting down 230k~ files or so incredibly slowly... but doesn't appear to be actually doing anything. I'm in MacOS and activity monitor says it's not using any CPU cycles, barely any RAM, and a grand total of 500mb read by the application. I know lots of small files are often pretty slow, but this is beyond that... the trial will be over before it even does anything!

It’s been a year or so since I kicked it off but depending on the number of files there’s some JVM flags you need to set to get better performance.

Their client is a pig and one of the main reasons I got off it.
