Have I made a mistake in ordering the Pogoplug because I am now coming to the understanding (after a bit of reading) its not really a backup device as such?

A Maik, First - I deleted your duplicate post Are you wanting to download the file to your computer and then have it automatically saved on a HD connected to your Pogoplug? If so no problem. Active Copy or other Sync programs can do that for you.

Regarding the duplicate comment, I actually made the first one a few days ago but I noticed today that it did not get posted so I created another thread. I then realised for it to be published I had to verify my email.  Both threads were published when I did verify the email.

Anyway, on to the subject matter.

So I need to buy a separate storage that needs plugged in to the Pogoplug, right? Can't the Pogoplug also act as a standalone backup storage device just in case something were to go wrong with my computer?

I guess I made the wrong decision then. What I wanted was the benefit of being able to access my files anywhere as well  it acting as backup. I suppose the Pogoplug doesn't do this.

Thanks
