Could you elaborate a bit on your CrashPlan setup? I have a somewhat similar setup and have been trying to back up my NAS (Synology DS1812+) to CrashPlan for about half a year now. I was able to start the backup, but the transfer rate quickly dropped to about 1.2 Mbps or lower, and having backed up about 1.5 TB the CrashPlan client now won't even run a backup.

Are you using Crashplan+ or any of the Pro/Enterprise plans? What sort of transfer rates do you get? And were you able to complete a full backup of that 11x4T array?

I'm using CrashPlan+ Family Unlimited (it's a home NAS!); I also bought a separate CrashPlan+ license when I first signed up. I don't have more than 1TB backed up specifically to CrashPlan as yet though. A big chunk of that NAS is for future growth, and a lot of it is a playground for experimenting with serving up media that we either have physical copies of or is of low replacement value.

I do see CrashPlan updating at a leisurely rate, but that's OK with me, as my upload bandwidth is limited. I'd be interested to see if it completely chokes past a certain point, like you say it does for you. But it's not yet at the point where I need to worry about it.
