I do have a problem on my beta Pogoplug changing attributes, but that may because I have a beta box. Is yours a beta box or a production one?

malhotra81,

The beta unit hardware should be the same as the production units. Far as the rest goes I will PM you on it.

Regarding SyncBackSE, on my tests I did see the same thing you are getting but changing some configurations may fix that.

The reason I asked about the Beta or production unit was because some of the betas do not have ntpd running to get network which may be affecting synbackSE.

There is also a problem with changing file attributes that I hear they are working on. Either one of these may be causing you a problem.

Far as synbackSE goes, just for fun I DL'd the demo program. You are right it does not work on my beta box. I did get it to work one time but that was after I changed a bunch of stuff just for fun and I don't know which one actually made it work. You are going to have to go with trial and error. I was just running an evaluation version and don't plan on keeping it.

I use other ways to do automatic backups that work for me.

malhotra81,
It all depends on your setup. I have used Windows Live Sync and Windows NT Backup or you could create a Windows batch file that does what you want.

I am putting together a info article on using Windows NT Backup for the Pogoplug and it works fine but it compresses all the files you want to back up into one file for you to save just in case you lose the original ones. It does not do an exact file for file copy.

At the end of the day I would recommend you do what you are doing now, wait a month or so and see what changes the Pogoplug team come up with and then decide what to do from there.
