Since I run CrashPlan on my QNAP to back up my personal data, yet I still want to use the CrashPlan GUI on my Mac, I don’t need the CrashPlanService running in the background on my Mac all the time.
To disable the always-running CrashPlan service on OSX (verified with the latest CrashPlan app, version 3.7):
- See if the service is running:
ps aux | grep CrashPlanService - Disable service:
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist - Verify the service is not running anymore:
ps aux | grep CrashPlanService - Delete the launch control plist so the CrashPlanService doesn’t reload the next time OSX is restarted:
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist
CrashPlan is an innovative utility that allows you to back up your computer to another computer or to an external drive, either manually or on a schedule.

August 22, 2017 was the last day that new CrashPlan for Home subscriptions were sold, and October 23, 2018 is the last day it is usable at all (even for peer-to-peer backups). Double-click Code42 CrashPlan Backup Service. The Code42 CrashPlan Backup Service Properties window opens. Ensure that the Startup Type is set to Automatic (Delayed Start). If the Start service status button is available, click it to start the Code42 service. Click Apply if you made changes to your settings, then close the window.

We don’t place limits on individual file sizes and we’ll never charge you extra to restore your files. CrashPlan features are designed to use minimal CPU power, keeping your files protected as efficiently as possible.
