ReadyNAS Vault : great but overpriced!

Can someone (you) write a full Crashplan installer for the Readynas? Command line work for non linux users is daunting.

As much as i would like to (this would make a great addon) I simply don't have the time to put into this.

Frankly I'd prefer a Jungldisk solution. Jungledisk does a better job covering end user and business needs. They also have fewer restrictions on use. Finally, no Java!

I personally chose CrashPlan for the the points you appear critical of:

I'm not aware of any restrictions as I have been able to backup as much data as I want, with as many revisions as I require, all for a single annual fee. Maybe JD would have been cheaper for me, but I couldn't be bothered working out the costs with the various storage providers when CP offered something so simple. I'm sure you are correct that JD offers something CP doesn't, but I've yet to find anything that limits me personally.

The fact CP is based on Java actually makes it very easy to install as the installation of Java is the only dependency and there are multiple explanations of how to do that on the forum. I briefly looked at JD and the installation appeared far more complex due to dependencies and setting up licensing etc. Certainly I found no simple "How to run Headless" instructions as provided by CrashPlan
