TIL:

Crashplan doesn’t support backing up NAS on Windows but does for Windows and Linux. Interesting....

That being said, I think if I had a NAS, I would want a solution that runs directly on the NAS instead of depending on a host computer.

Yeah, you could totally do that using a VM on the NAS. The only downside is that it'd be charged as an additional device, assuming you still wanted to back up your main workstation.

Too late to edit:

Crashplan supports NAS backups on Macs and Linux.
