Hi,
CrashPlan is running fine on my ReadyNas. I have only backed up my Thunderbird backup, 6.9GB. It was reasonably fast - Virgin Media have some traffic management so I had to set the upload to 1.7Mbit max to not trigger that. When I then open Thunderbird and updated the email, CP re-synced everything in a few seconds, without re-sending the whole inbox file.
My RN (Pro6 with upgraded CPU and RAM) did not show more than 20% CPU usage but it was mainly below 10%.
CP is as cheap as BlackBlaze but it does support a NAS - in fact it runs on it which is just great for back up sync - and it is very configurable, I did not like the 'set and forget' behaviour of BB.
I will keep using CP for a month before purchasing a plan but it seems exactly what I need. Thank you itsjasper for that!
