Crashplan for Dummies, aka Step by Step :)
I have just went through this and have seen several folks post that they wish there was an all inclusive guide, I just bought a Pro 2 and so far I am pleased with what I see under the hood (looks like...
One thing to keep in mind that it is not enough to open putty - you need to log in as root into the NAS before you launch the client.
Begin by logging in to the NAS with putty.
First enter
You should get a long line that has /usr/bin/java in it, and also -Dapp=CrashPlanService
Assuming you see that, then enter
You should see
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4242 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:4243 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4242 yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:zzzzz ESTABLISHED
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the NAS, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the IP address of the PC. ZZZZZ is a port number (shows up as 60249 on my system, but probably varies).
BTW, did you install crashplan 3.0.3 (which was the current version when the guide was published) or version 3.2.1 (the current version).
Begin by logging in to the NAS with putty.
First enter
ps aux | grep BaseName
You should get a long line that has /usr/bin/java in it, and also -Dapp=CrashPlanService
Assuming you see that, then enter
netstat -an | grep ':424.'
You should see

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:4243 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
