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 agree. The suggested SSH tunneling certainly creates an encrypted connection. Though if someone does guess the password, they have full access to the NAS.

On the other hand, changing the servicehost results in an unencrypted connection between the client and the server. If the NAS is in the DMZ (or if you forward the crashplan port in your router), then this creates its own security risk. Also in a corporate setting, this unencrypted connection is a vulnerability. If someone can read the crashplan login/password, they have full access to your data (and can directly connect to the crashplan cloud servers to get it).
On the whole, I prefer the SSH method (and keeping the SSH access contained to my local LAN).
