To clarify--are you using Active Copy to do this? I've honestly never tried using Active Copy on a remote computer with Pogoplug Drive installed, attempting to back up automatically to a remote Pogoplug--do I have that right?

In short, I'm not sure if Active Copy was intended to be used that way. It works best on drives that are "always-on" in your local network, or Pogoplug => Pogoplug backups.

However, I think it would work, but you might have to start and stop the Active Copy operations manually.

I'm going to see if the folks at Pogoplug have any more input on solving your problem, too--or you can contact Pogoplug support as well.
