Add Crashplan client

I too would like to be able to perform automatic online backups to CrashPlan Central servers using a CrashPlan consumer account. It would be great if the CrashPlan Backup Software was capable of running on the ReadyNAS devices themselves. I would imagine this would happen as a plugin and be able to be configured using a web browser.

I personally use ReadyNAS devices at home and work so I'd even like to see CrashPlan Pro as an option. For those with the power and knowledge to get CrashPlan directly running on ReadyNAS devices, keep in mind there are two types of CrashPlan accounts. The regular CrashPlan account for home users and what is called CrashPlan Pro which is intended for businesses and their data backups.

Personally, I vote to prioritize getting the regular CrashPlan and CrashPlan+ software running on ReadyNAS devices since these are the only choices that will let users backup to the paid, online, off site, and unlimited backup CrashPlan Central service. CrashPlan Pro and CrashPlan Central do not work together. CrashPlan Pro clients only backup to CrashPlan Pro servers.

Typically, paid CrashPlan Pro services do not include unlimited storage like the CrashPlan Central service does. For personal uses like backing up your music collection, imported video camera footage, pictures, other data and such off site, the CrashPlan Central service is a real plus. Considering the alternatives, it is affordable too.

I can see this thread is a few years old. At the time of this writing, the CrashPlan Backup Software does not directly run on ReadyNAS devices themselves. I'm looking forward to the day we do not have to run a separate computer to map drives or mount network volumes on just to use the CrashPlan Backup Software and get to the CrashPlan Central service. I hope my vote and thoughts count!
