These things look like they are tailored for pictures and music. They appear to try to grab files from nodes on your local network. Looks like overkill for backup.
This whole area is new enough that it may take us a while to sort things out.
I like the idea of having a simpler backup device like the Pogo. External drives are cheap. A device not tied to somebody's proprietary software appeals to me.
