Crashplan - My computer as a trusted device to a single share?
Hi All,
We recently purchased a second ReadyNAS 102 with the hopes of using the two ReadyNAS 102s as backups for each other. We want to have our two ReadyNASes on two different networks backing up to each other (replicating with the ReadyCloud). At the same time, we want Crashplan to take the data from each ReadyNAS and back up to Crashplan's Cloud.
I have another fruitless post explaining my issues with ReadyNAS Replicate returning a P2P error. You can find that here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-in-Business/ReadyNAS-Replicate-job-returning-quot-Unable-to-get-local-p2p/m-p/1160592#M5693 This isn't what my post is about but if you have any suggestions it would be most helpful.
While trying to figure that out, I'm trying to use the Crashplan that is installed on my PC to backup from a mapped drive mapped to the ReadyNAS.
I am able to get Crashplan to back up to a share I mapped, but I needed to open permissions to allow "Everyone" to read and write from that file. For security reasons, I want to allow access to only my computer without the need to log into the networked drive because Crashplan can't access a networked drive that requires another login to a mapped drive.
Is there any way to add my computer as a trusted device to a single share?

Do you want CrashPlan's destination to a be share on the NAS??? Or are you wanting CrashPlan to back up shares that are on the NAS???
I'm going to assume the latter.

If I understand your issue correctly, you are wanting CrashPlan on the PC to back up the entire NAS volume (or at least multiple shares) to the CrashPlan cloud. Your permissions problem is because you are needing to mount shares simultaneously that require different credentials. Is this correct?
If so, the easiest answer is to mount the data volume itself as one mapped drive. You can do that using the NAS admin credentials. For instance, if your data volume has the default name "Data", you could use
net use t: \\nas-ip=address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
CrashPlan also needs to be installed as "per user" on the PC.
