Mount the desired NAS shares on the virtual machine (this will make the shares available to the virtual machine's file system).Install CrashPlan on the virtual machine.Allocate a sufficient amount of RAM to the virtual machine (CrashPlan is based on Java and eats up a lot of RAM).Install a Windows 10 or Ubuntu virtual machine on the NAS using the Virtual Machine Manager.Should we circumvent this problem by following the steps below? IMHO, it looks like a makeshift solution that may stop working if the developer decides to abandon the project. The following Docker solution, which seems to be maintained by only one person, appears to be the only one that works currently: The problem, however, is that CrashPlan is nowhere to be found in the Package Center on DSM v6.2.3 even if you set the trust level to 'any publisher'.Ī compatible version of CrashPlan used to be available at, which is a community source, but the package no longer works properly. Currently, we use CrashPlan as our online backup and file hosting service. We have a Synology NAS with a whopping 64 GB of RAM, and we'd like to dedicate the NAS to handling all offsite backups. I've already asked this elsewhere, but for good measure, I'm posting it here too.
