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...
Just a word of warning, I don't think allowing incoming GUI connections to the remote server is secure. I found this reply on a similar post from someone from Crashplan:

Hi! bonus points for figuring out an alternative way! The reason we don’t recommend doing it this way is the gui listener is not considered “secure”. In theory, someone could connect to your service now and do things you don’t want them to.
That’s why our instructions show you how to do this over SSH. That being said, if it’s not available from the internet, only your LAN (i.e. media server), this is a great alternative.
