Restoring from Scratch

CrashPlan is not designed to back up every single file on your disk, and even if you were to coax it into doing so, it would be unable to restore everything to a pristine, bootable state (sometimes known as a “bare metal” restore). That’s one of the reasons I suggest supplementing your CrashPlan backups with an additional method that can do just that (see Go Beyond CrashPlan) and why I say not to bother backing up system files with CrashPlan (see Data You Might Think You Should Add, but Shouldn’t).

If you do have to restore an entire disk from scratch, the best way is to use a bootable duplicate or image-based backup for that purpose, and then use CrashPlan to restore any data it backed up since you created that full-disk backup. Failing that, you may have to reinstall your operating system and applications (including CrashPlan) from original media or downloads, and then use CrashPlan to restore all the data it backed up.
