Crashplan for Dummies, aka Step by Step :)

Very helpful! :D I was able to get this running fairly quickly thanks to your detailed step by step. One detail (post install) - the Crashplan client will show your shares twice - as links (with an arrow as part of the icon) and under the "C" folder. It won't back up the links, you need to select the folders under the "C" folder. If you try the other way, the backup "succeeds", but doesn't back anything up.

Updated my post....glad it helped, most of the content was scattered about and I just thought I would throw it together and add some more detail for non *nix folks to make it easier, since the crashplan client seems to be pretty slick :)
