CrashPlan for Mac Users Install CrashPlan on your Mac machine. Once the upgrade is complete, the system will continue to backup as normal and the new CrashPlan icon should appear on the taskbar.

- 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
That’s it!
