If you want to run crashplan I suggest the RN312 over the RN212. One reason is that crashplan can be a memory hog, and the RN212 memory is soldered on the system board and can't be upgraded.
BTW, you can mount the NAS volume(s) on a PC (windows or MAC) and use crashplan on the PC to back up the network drives. That is easier to set up than installing crashplan on the NAS (especially if you are not familar with linux).
