Woot! CrashPlan client running on ReadyNAS Pro

I am very pleased to say that the CrashPlan linux client runs nicely on my ReadyNAS Pro. I expect that any of the ReadyNas Ultra models should be able to run the Java client. I was looking for a inexpensive solution that could back up my 1TB of family photo's. I'm sure that ReadyNAS Vault and many of the more expensive packages are far better suited for business, but for me CrashPlan was the right price. All and all I really like CrashPlan and having it run locally on my ReadyNAS is just AWESOME! :)

Compared to other options CrashPlan is super affordable, it has a great client, and you can 'seed' your data. 'Seeding' your data means that they will ship you a HD drive that you can backup ~1.5TB of data on, then you ship it back and then they upload that data to the 'Cloud' (Servers). For me it will save about 10 months of data transferring. After the data has been 'seeded' I only have to upload new data or stuff that changed. For me the delta's are pretty small on new files.

CrashPlan has a great video here for the less geeky:

My setup, is a ReadyNAS Pro that does the main file share functionality for the family and I have another older ReadyNAS backing certain share's on my Pro.

Here is the tutorial that helped get Java running on my ReadyNAS Pro. It was SUPER simple. Once Java is running and you install the CrashPlan Linux client the only tricky part is doing the SSH forwarding. For Mac users you can add the SSH forwarding setup to JellyFiSSH.

Thank you very much to 'avpman', for writing the great Java walk-though!

Oh yeah... I do NOT work for CrashPlan. :D I'm just a happy customer. I really like my ReadyNAS's too. :D
