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...

However, the crashplan instruction for running the client from PC is really not need. Here is what I did and works perfectly (I did have some help from an IT geek at work:) :
- Access your NAS through SSH and go into the folder where CrashPlan is installed
- Edit (vi) conf/my.service.xml
- There's a line that says ServiceHost. Fill out the IP of your NAS (the one from your LAN like 192.168.1.2)
- Save the file and restart the CrashPlan service
- On your computer (the one you want to control your NAS backups from), look for a file called ui.properties in Program Files/CrashPlan
- Edit the file and uncomment the serviceHost line and modify 127.0.0.1 with the IP of your NAS (for instance 192.168.1.2).
Finally, open CrashPlan.
Thanks, this worked.
Worked for me as well..
Thank you!!!
