So, to start with, it won’t work on my TS-219 as it is an Arm not an Intel-based device. I now have a TS-239 Pro II for exactly this reason. The instructions worked well.
Links and my notes below:
- General instructions
- Installing QPKGs is a question of downloading them, unzipping and installing through the admin interface. Don’t forget to enable them once you’ve installed them.
- You need to enable the QPKG once you’ve installed it. Click on the QPKG icon and click enable in the pop up screen.
- I restarted the server once the QPKG was installed.
- (without the restart, I needed to cd /opt/bin and then type ./qpkg to get the install commands to execute.)
- I used vi to edit the install.sh file (just needed to add /opt/bin to the path).
- When installing, I said no to change to root user, changed the install directory to /opt/crashplan and yes to download JRE.
- JRE for QNAP (Didn’t need this for the TS-239 Pro II)
- Headless client for Crashplan
- Remember to press the add button when you are setting up the port tunnelling in Putty.
- The shares to backup are found in /share/MD0_DATA not anywhere else you might think.
- You can get Java for ARM here (the old evaluation version is available), but it doesn’t work with the Intel-compiled Crashplan.
I wonder what country this is where this is the local patois – perhaps i’ll travel there one day….
I sincerely hope you don’t have to. I guess I should exclude IT posts from Facebook, though.
If anyone is interested, I have managed to get CrashPlan running on my TS-210 with an ARM processor, my guide of what I did is here: http://www.pchilton.co.uk/2011/01/29/crashplan-online-backup-on-qnap-ts-210-nas/
