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...

Enterprise:/usr/local/crashplan/bin# ./CrashPlanEngine start
Starting CrashPlan Engine ... Using standard startup
OK
Enterprise:/usr/local/crashplan/bin#
and if I check afterwards:
Enterprise:/usr/local/crashplan/bin# ps auxww | grep -i CrashPlanService

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but no luck.
Edit: I seem to have found a solution by following this advice
Thanks to this post I found some comments that had the answer - the java path was wrong, and there was a file with one variable to fix it (http://blog.andrewkoebbe.com/posts/2014 ... dynas-102/). If you use the default installation location, crashplan installs under /usr/local/crashplan. Within that directory is a file named install.vars; where there is a variable JAVACOMMON, with a path to tell Crashplan which Java to use. The default value was the JRE inside the Crashplan installation folder - that was not working for some reason. I changed the variable to /usr/bin/java7 - pointing to the JRE installed for the entire readyNAS.
Then, I simply ran /etc/init.d/crashplan start ...and crashplan fired up and is now running fine.
Crashplan downloads its own Java during the installation. How can I prevent that from happening?
Also, my Java folder seems to be: ./etc/frontview/addons/bin/EJRE/ejdk1.8.0_33/linux_i586/jre/bin/java
Is that supposed to be?
