My setup is 2 pogoplugs, 30 miles apart.  Each has two drives.  The office backs up to pogoplug and then that copies to the house.  Then house data is similar, but moves to the office.  I has work almost flawlessly for two years.

But with each update of the drivers and webui, it degrades.  Now the most  important function for me is gone.  In the webui, when setting up a backup, remote access drives can no longer be used as a source.  However, they can still be used as a destination.

This changed a few weeks ago.  If remote access drives can be used as a destination, they obviously can be sensed COULD be used as a source.

The importance for me is that I used to be able to initiate a backup of a remote system.  But no longer.

I've submittted a ticket (#61902), but alas, they say that it was purposely removed and that uploader is the only solution.  That would be fine if the uploder worked but it randomly changes both the drive and pogoplug in hte destination.  Lots of time uploading, but nothing happedns and I have no idea where those files are going. Somehwere, but not where I said.

With this change, if permanent, I would consider a pogoplug killer for me, and will have to seek up a different solution.

Any help out there?

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for this. I have been complaining about this with the support group as well. This is a showstopper for me. I've got the same scenario and Pogo has taken the capability away. I don't know why and would ask them to put this back in. I have three pogoplug devices with two being at different locations.

Try the web interface at http://goflexnet.pogoplug.com It seems to work for me with the older version of the software. I was able to set up the "Active copy" from their "return to library" page. Hope pogoplug does not break this site as well!

Consider this solution officially closed.

http://goflexnet.pogoplug.com/view.html

gives you this:

ERROR

OK

It doesn't give me that. I see everything just fine.
