You need to create your own key : ;)

"custom key*/
Encryption key that is user-created (using the Passphrase or Generate 
options) and is used instead of the encryption key generated by the 
CrashPlan app. This encryption security option offers the greatest 
security because the custom key never leaves the source computer. It 
also greatly increases user responsibility; there is no way to recover a 
backup if the custom key is lost or forgotten. CrashPlan Customer 
Champions have no way to assist with custom key recovery./ "
