Affects
The CrashPlan app on Mac.
Diagnosing
When the CrashPlan app is installed with standard user permissions, you may be presented with prompts to access your calendar, contacts, and tasks.
By default, the CrashPlan app selects your user folder for backup, which includes the following locations that Mac prompts for access to:
/Users/{user}/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
/Users/{user}/Library/Calendars/
/Users/{user}/Library/Containers/com.apple.reminders/Data/
Recommended solution
Click OK to allow the CrashPlan app to back up the contents of your user folder. If you select Don't Allow, the CrashPlan app proceeds to back up everything other than your contacts, calendars, and tasks.
Alternative solution
Uninstall and reinstall with the default administrator permissions.
