Is anyone successfully using their v2 Pogoplug as a backup destination using SuperDuper, TimeMachine or any other backup software on a Mac?
I don't consider Active Copy a solution, but would like to use my Pogoplug for backups.
I've tried SuperDuper and TimeMachine without success.
If anyone has any solution it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Rob

Your pogoplug can be turned in to a time machine compatible device... however it does require a bit of wizardry (sic).. Seongbae has a write up on how to do it, however I myself have not tried this... Remember that this solution does involve changes to the plugs software, like openpogo but not as easy... Mabey someone can package up all these instructions and have it work with openpogo...

the other solution is to request the feature from Cloud Engines, there used to be a uservoice.com page for them, however it is not around anymore (at least I think it was uservoice.com). Post this in the Suggestions forum. there is also a poll asking for your most wanted app/feature here.. http://www.pogoplugged.com/forum/thread/11823/Poll-What-is-your-most-wanted-P...

I use the pogoplug as an offsite backup solution and I'm using SuperDuper! to do it.

The trick, it seems, is to back up to a Sparse Image (not a bundle).

1. I installed the PogoPlug client on my Mac and told it to automount the drives in multi-disk mode.

2. I set a rule in SuperDuper to back up to a sparse image located on the mounted pogoplug drive.

This works for me 100% with a ~50GB backup image but I'm having trouble doing the same thing on a ~350GB backup image on a different drive attached to the pogoplug.  I don't know if size is a factor or not.
