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 installer I used put java 1.8 in /usr/local/bin/java Java 1.6 is in /usr/bin/java.
So I also needed to change JAVACOMMON in install.vars. Crashplan has now upgraded to version 4.4.0. I still need to upgrade the client app on the PC, but so far it looks like the update issue is solved.
(Crashplan hasn't yet provided a 4.4.0 download, which is why the client can't be updated).

Just found your thread after a long time and a very large number of tabs trying to work out what happened to my NAS all of a sudden. I have exactly the same problem. 3.4GB in /usr/local/crashplan/upgrade from many directories of the form "1435726800440.1442908683198", all containing a copy of crashplan jars.
Thanks for your help, I'll hopefully put it to good use.
For anyone who thinks they may have the same problem, here's how I got this far:
Initial symptoms: NAS boots up and is visible through RAIDAR and FrontView. But all the shares can't be mounted from my Windows boxes, and trying to disable/re-enable CIFS is failing. After a while, SSH access stops working. Crashplan is complaining the backup hasn't run for a few days.
Step 1 - Enabling tech support mode

Step 2 - Logging in via telnet, search the web for the password, not sure if I should post it here or not.
Step 3 - Mounting os partition
# start_raid.sh
# mount /dev/md0 /sysroot
Step 4 - Check OS partition disk usage
# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 10240 0 10240 0% /dev
/dev/md0 4184756 4184628 0 100% /sysroot
Step 5 - Identify usage under /sysroot
search for disk usage by directory, filter for entries in the Gigabytes (or anything with G in it - I'm not a linux ninja)
# du -ch | grep G
...

Step 6 - Delete most of these folders
From here on my plan is to follow Stephen's advice.
