Normally, CrashPlan won’t allow you to backup computer data to network share/drive. Nonetheless, you can get around this if you’re using iSCSI. In the video right after the break, I show you how to create iSCSI with QNAP (Network Attached Storage) server, connect to QNAP’s iSCSI target, and format iSCSI share as NTFS share for Windows 7/8. This way, you can use CrashPlan software (free or paid) to backup data from a local computer to QNAP’s iSCSI share, and you can go one step further by backing up the data of iSCSI share (on QNAP or whatever NAS that may be) to CrashPlan Central (cloud service for hosting backup data). Enjoy!!!
