Hello,
I am a Crashplan user (Crashplan+ plan) for a long time and since I have a DNS-320 on my living room I though it you be useful to use it to backup all the media in it (instead of using my laptop to do it). I would safe power, and stopped worrying about living the laptop on to finish the backups.
I am not an expert on Linux, so this tutorial is a list of steps/commands I gather from different webpages that allowed me to install and run the Crashplan on my DNS-320.
I already had both Couchpotato, Sickbeard and Transmission installed and running on my DNS-320. Installing Crashplan will have an impact on the DNS-320 performance regarding this other services. Did not notice a major performance decrease in the daily usage as a network drive.
» Requirements
- Debian Squeeze installed on the DNS-320
- SSH client on the laptop/computer you use to configure DNS-320
- Crashplan installed on the laptop/computer
» 1. Install Debian Squeeze on DNS-320

» 3. Download modified Crashplan files to work on an ARM machine (DNS-320, Rasperry Pi, etc.)
(more info here: http://www.jonrogers.co.uk/2012/05/crashplan-on-the-raspberry-pi/ )
wget http://www.opticality.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/files/libjtux.so

tar -xf CrashPlan_3.5.3_Linux.tgz
cd CrashPlan-install/
./install.sh
cd /usr/local/crashplan
mv libjtux.so libjtux.so-ORIGINAL
cp ~/libjtux.so .
mv libmd5.so libmd5.so-ORIGINAL
cp ~/libmd5.so .
» 5. Change Crashplan configuration to be able to be configured from any IP
(more info here: http://www.schwer.us/journal/2011/04/29/connect-to-a-headless-crashplan-desktop/)
nano /usr/local/crashplan/conf/my.service.xml
(find servicehost and change it to 0.0.0.0)
» 6. Change desktop/laptop configuration to be able to connect to the DNS-320 Crashplan engine
(more info here: http://www.schwer.us/journal/2011/04/29/connect-to-a-headless-crashplan-desktop/)
Edit C:\Program Files\CrashPlan\conf\ui.properties file and and change this line:
#serviceHost=127.0.0.1
to:
serviceHost=10.0.0.5
where “10.0.0.5″ is the IP address of the DNS-320.
» 7. Execute/Start Crashplan engine on DSN-320
/usr/local/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine start
» 8. Check if Crashplan is running
(more info here: http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/how_to/configure_a_headless_client?s%5B%5D%3Dheadless%26s%5B%5D%3Dlinux)
netstat -na | grep LISTEN | grep 42
(you should see two lines after execution the command. It take some minutes from starting the Crashplan Engine, so run this command after a few minutes you started the engine)
» 9. Change the Crashplan DNS-320 configuration
(more info here: http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/how_to/configure_a_headless_client?s%5B%5D%3Dheadless%26s%5B%5D%3Dlinux)
Open the Crashplan program on your PC/laptop and configure it like you would in your PC. Then check the backup progression on it too.
And that's it!!
