Hi all - I recently acquired a DNS321 to use as a fileserver and backup location. After I discovered Crashplan and fun_plug I decided I needed to run it on the NAS so that it can run backups to the cloud or a remote location without another computer being on to manage the transfer (my connection sucks so I wanted it to be able to run as long as it needed).
Has anyone else loaded Crashplan on their DNS successfully?
I've overcome a couple of hurdles and gotten to a point where Crashplan thinks it's installed (had to put it on the mounted drive because I ran out of space for the install; I suspect this was a bad idea) but now it won't start.
root@TreadNAS:/mnt/HD_a2/Backup/Crashplan/crashplan/bin# sh CrashPlanEngine status CrashPlan Engine is stopped. root@TreadNAS:/mnt/HD_a2/Backup/Crashplan/crashplan/bin# sh CrashPlanEngine start Starting CrashPlan Engine ... Using standard startup OK root@TreadNAS:/mnt/HD_a2/Backup/Crashplan/crashplan/bin# sh CrashPlanEngine status CrashPlan Engine is stopped.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Is there a way to find some more space in the system directories so I can install cp there instead of on the drive?

I'm not familiar with Crashplan, but does it write to a log file? Presumably it would indicate the reason for exiting.

Yeah, I thought to look there after I posted. "Java: applet not found." It installed JRE - not sure whether it's the environment or something else that's missing. Any thoughts on how to track it down? Can JRE run under ffp?

Any success?
I'm planning to buy a DNS-321 and want to install CrashPlan on it.

I also want to know if you make any progress. I have a dns-323 and crashplan sounds perfect for it.

I'd also be interested if this is working...
FWIW, I'm currently using Crashplan to backup our DNS-323 -- but through my mac as a connected network volume. This works, but only when my Mac is running...

I'd like this too. Having Crashplan on the NAS makes perfect sense. I'm trying this on DNS-321. Before we get too far down this path, is there enough memory for this to run on DNS-321?
Crashplan requires Java SE Runtime. I tried to install the linux version and the java runtime installer fails. How did you install Java?
CrashPlan needs various /usr/local folders and init.d. It doesn't appear that these are in the fun_plug linux install.
Any suggestions? Crashplan is something the DNS 323/321 NAS community should have.
Thanks

Did anyone make any progress on this? I've recently obtained a DNS-321 and would love to throw CrashPlan on it :-)

I have such feeling that there won't be any answer to this topic... But the question is very topical...
