Crashplan on Duo/NV+ v2? [SOLVED + TUTORIAL]

[StephenB]

It starts up automatically when I reboot my pro, and survived the firmware update from 4.2.19 to 4.2.20

[sphardy]

Yup - and I have the same experience with my x86 based Ultra

However, I'm asking about ARM based units (Duo & NV+ v2) where, unlike the x86 units, libraries need to be updated that may be overwritten by a firmware update, and/or there may be other differences affecting startup

[sphardy]

Just updated from 5.3.3 to 5.3.5 (which seems rather buggy...) and Crashplan appears to have survived OK. Still doesn't autostart on boot, but all my machines have connected back to CP and appear to be running OK. Will report back if I see any issues

[nasxpert]

how is the performance of this setup? And is this setup successful for multiple users? its been over 8 months since the release of this product and yet there are less than 10 community add-ons? no dropbox? no real plex media server setup? was it worth the investment if its not going to be supported as well as the intel NASes?

[mdgm]

There are more add-ons under development. However a dropbox add-on for ARM is unlikely. Precompiled x86 binaries are used for x86 (Intel) ReadyNAS. If Dropbox were to provide the source so it could be ported to ARM then it might be possible.

There is a Plex add-on for ARM at http://www.plexapp.com/linux/linux-pms-download.php (no Transcoding though as CPU is not powerful enough).

There's never going to be as good a range of add-ons for ARM as there is for x86 due to various factors (i.e. not having source code available so can't compile for non-x86 system) but there will be some growth in the range of add-ons available.

ok sounds good. thanks.

Has anyone tried running crashplan while streaming media onto their tv and tablet at the same time? Does anyone know if the cpu can handle that pressure?

[StephenB]

I have a Pro, so I can't really speak to the NV+ v2 performance.

Transcoding requires a lot of CPU, but streaming w/o transcoding does not. If you aren't using transcoding (for instance, if you are just using ReadyDLNA), then I think you won't see any issue at all.

Also, Crashplan uses CPU while its uploading new files (or recovering files), but doesn't use much when the backup is caught up. It does a daily disk scan, but you can set the time for that so it is off-hours. So when CrashPlan is caught up, there would also be no CPU contention.

Hi all

Is there no way at all to get CrashPlan (or other on-line storage providers) to work on a ReadyNAS version 1?

Thanks a million.

ReadyNAS Vault works on the v1.

Hello

my backup is working, thx for the tutorial.

But after every reboot of the nas, I have to manually start CrashPlan.
Any ideas to fix this problem?

Thanks for your help

I'm getting this error when I try to install libjna-java

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.11.3-4) but 2.11.2-10 is to be installed
libjna-java : Depends: libffi5 (>= 3.0.9-2) but it is not going to be installed
tzdata-java : Depends: tzdata (= 2012g-0squeeze1) but 2012c-0squeeze1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I've tried using -f to correct it, but it doesn't work. Does anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks

I finally got it to work.

If anyone ever comes across this, this is what I did. I ended up breaking the apache server somehow doing some random debian updates and installs.
Reinstalled the OS on the NAS and uninstalled crashplan.
Followed the directions on the first page from the beginning.
Once I was installing libjna-java I got the error:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cifs-utils : Depends: libtalloc2 (>= 2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
libjna-java : Depends: libffi5 (>= 3.0.9-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I then tried

Code: Select all

apt-get -f install libtalloc2

This error came up:

Code: Select all

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libtalloc2_2.0.1-1_armel.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libtalloc.so.2', which is also in package samba 2:3.5.15-njnetgear1

                                      Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libtalloc2_2.0.1-1_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This was fixed by

Code: Select all

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libtalloc2_2.0.1-1_armel.deb

I was then able to install libjna-java. From there everything worked as expected and I'm in the process of backing my server up to CrashPlan

I am an experienced Windows (and to some extent DOS) user but have absolutely no knowledge of Linux. I would like to get Crashplan tunning on my NV+ v2 and my Ultra but am not at all sure how to enter the instructions in the guide. I would really appreciate it if someonw would post a 'Dummie's Guide' giving simple step by step instructions to help people like me add these to a clean ReadyNAS.

Thanks

I have managed to get Crashplan running on my NV+ v2 and can backup across my network from 9 out of 10 PCs. The PC which will not back up is the one that I used to set CP up on the ReadyNAS. I can PuTTY into the NAS from it with root access, I can edit the CP settings and access the headless CP on the NAS and when I change the settings back I can access the CP desktop on the PC. I can telnet to the NAS from it

The problem is that when I try to activate the backup on this PC the NAS is greyed out in Computers and when I attempt to connect, I get a 'waiting for connection' message. I have made sure the PC firewall is allowing ports 4242 and 4243 as well as Crashplan (the same as I have done on the other PCs) but still I cannot connect.

Has anyone any ideas what might be causing this?
