I take a spare ethernet cable, connect one end to the NAS, and stick the other end in a large plastic baggie, let it fill up with bits, and then seal it up and sleep with it under my pillow at night.
The second line of defense appears before your data ever leaves your machine. Backup data is encrypted with a 128-bit key for free users with 448-bit encryption available for CrashPlan Central subscribers. Backup transmission is then scrambled using 128-bit encryption. Keys are created using a secure random number generator and are escrowed with your archive at each destination so you can restore your files should you lose your computer. Archive encryption keys can be secured with your account password or a private password. For the ultimate level of protection, you can replace the CrashPlan-generated key with your own data key.
You can't back up your clients to the cloud from the server. When you back up to your server, your client backups are not allowed to in turn backup to the cloudOkay looks like crashplan does this -

Yes. They can back up to the server, but you can't back that backup to their cloud serviceBut when a FreeNAS server is the backup server for the LAN, the files backed up to the NAS can themselves be backed up with crashplan, can they not?
My philosophy is always restore from local backup. If local backup has failed, restore local backup from remote and then restore clients from the local backup (if they need to be)
CrashPlan will not backup CrashPlan archives. In your scenario, the individual clients would have to use something other than CrashPlan to backup to FreeNAS.when a FreeNAS server is the backup server for the LAN, the files backed up to the NAS can themselves be backed up with crashplan, can they not?

c. “CrashPlan+ Unlimited” has the same features as CrashPlan+ with no current limitation on the amount of User Data stored on the Public Cloud (subject to future data storage limits described below). While there is no current limitation for CrashPlan Unlimited subscribers on the amount of User Data backed up to the Public Cloud, Code 42 reserves the right in the future, in its sole discretion, to set commercially reasonable data storage limits (i.e. 10 TB) on all CrashPlan+ Unlimited accounts.
d. “CrashPlan+ Family” has the same features as CrashPlan+ Unlimited extended to include up to ten (10) Devices used by family members living under the same household (and offsite family members in college or that are military personnel) using the CrashPlan Products and Services. While there is no current limitation for CrashPlan Unlimited subscribers on the amount of User Data backed up to the Public Cloud, Code 42 reserves the right in the future, in its sole discretion, to set commercially reasonable data storage limits (i.e. 20 TB) on all CrashPlan+ Family accounts.
What do you mean? It works fine until something goes wrong, then it sits there read-only until you wipe the drive and start over. You have a problem with that?
;)
That is my experience as well.Ah. Someone who's actually used the &@#(&*@#(*!) thing.
