Add Crashplan client
Have been testing Crashplan (http://www.crashplan.com) on my laptop - pretty slick. Crashplan has a Linux client, so I suppose someone (not me) could get it running on the readynas? Anyone tried...
I have got CrashPlan to work on ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer. The Java JRE that comes bundled with CrashPlan does not work on ReadyNAS. For some reason it does not find the libsl.so.2 file. Solution is to add the java JRE from debian repositories first and not use the one that CrashPlan offers to install for you.
1) Login to your ReadyNAS through SSH as root. Uninstall CrashPlan if your prior (broken) install is still there.
2) edit /etc/apt/sources.list (you can use the vi editor) to add this line to the end...
3) execute "apt update"
4) execute "dpkg-reconfigure debconf" and select the "Dialog" option (1) and "Medium" prompt level (3) This is necessary so that the sun JRE license agreement can be displayed and accepted by you. When you are done you can put it back to Non Interactive mode.
5) execute "apt-get install sun-java6-jre" and follow instructions.
6) Now you can install CrashPlan... download, unpack, run "./install.sh" it should not prompt you to install the Java JRE because the Sun Java6 JRE is already there.
Your're done. Or at least I was... it worked for me (on a ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer).
