Tutorial to install CrashPlan (updated August 2016)
Hello everyone, As I have reinstall CrashPlan on my ReadyNas today. I thought I will share with everyone my updated notes. Feel free to comment to improve this step-by-step. Maybe a clever person...
I noticed as well that my crashplan stopped to work about a week ago. I will check that as soon as I can and update the tuto if necessary. As StephenB said Crashplan installs its own java package. But I can only speak for x86 version
Thanks! I don't think this is really going to be an issue for x86/Intel-based NASes, as I would expect the JRE that CP precompiles to run just fine. It really looks like it's an issue with ARM-based NASes. And before, this was only really an issue of pointing CP to use the Java/JRE compiled for ARM on the NAS (rather than CP's precompiled version). Now the issue appears to be that CP added another precompiled library dependency (which only works in x86), so even if users of ARM-based NASes point CP to use the system JRE, the CP service will still fail because that other CP-specific library can't load in the ARM environment.
Yup, Crashplan has stopped working for me too on my RN316 ReadyNAS. I'm thinking about dumping Crashplan altogther and just use sync with Dropbox for my important files.
The RN316 is Intel-based isn't it? You shouldn't have any issues getting it working again - probably what you're running into is Java problems (if you have Java 7 still installed, it's not going to work and you'll need to update to Java 8)
