Crashplan JRE update needed
Crashplan released an update on 21 September 2015 (4.4.0) which fails to install on my pro-6 (running 4.2.28).
The issue is that the new service requires jre 1.7 or jre 1.8, and my system was r...

Thanks for confirming that. It is certainly the least painful way forward.

But for the life of me I am not able to locate the 4.5.0 download on crashplan website to install the gui on my windows 7 64 bit PC.
Netgear posts the downloads first, and then puts them on their update servers. Crashplan seems to do it in the reverse order. They will eventually push an upgrade to the PC client, and since the 4.4.1 PC client works with 4.5.0 on the NAS, it should be fine to wait.

Do we just install it from the ReadyNas Web GUI like any other addon?

Yes. But as the site says, it won't show up in the installed list afterwards. You can confirm the glibc upgrade by entering ldd --version in ssh.
I installed it yesterday, then rebooted. Crashplan appears to be running normally (busy doing "block synchronization"), and I haven't seen side effects with other services on the Pro.
If anyone does see issues related to the library, it'd be good to post them here (as well as rnxtras.com).

- The add-on of course needs to be reinstalled after a firmware reinstall/upgrade/downgrade

Fantastic add-on! Thank you very much. Running ReadyNAS Pro 6 and just got the email from Crashplan saying my NAS hadn't backed up in 3 days. After a lot of research, your work has solved my problem completely.
Working for me on two Pro 4 boxes with CrashPlan 4.5.0. Thanks!
I hope CrashPlan leaves things alone for a while now. I'm very close to switching entirely to something like urBackup, because CrashPlan keeps breaking with forced upgrades.Thanks so much Whocares. I would seriously have paid for this fix as well. Do you have any kind of donation link on RNXtras.com?
Well, making it available for free was deliberate and meant as a service to the community. On the other hand I don't mind buying out of the ordinary candies for my kids. So feel free to send donations to https://www.paypal.me/whocares if you insist ;)
