(external) backup drive, charger combination.

I'm looking for a device which allows me to backup my Macbook Pro while charging it, so I don't have to separately charge my laptop and then backup its contents. Let's assume Time Machine is used (no iCloud backup). Is there such a device?

MacBook Pro (M3, 2023)

back up for new MacBook Air I Just got a new MacBook Air and wanted to know if someone could suggest aa back up device for it. I have an iMac desktop and use Western Digital My Passport for Mac, but that won't work with my MacBook because the two usb ports on my MacBook are smaller than the usb plug that came with the Western Digital. The other plug on the new MacBook is just the magna safe charging port. I keep getting a message that my MacBook isn't backed up and wold love to get a device soon. Thank you

If your goal is to connect only one cable, consider a dock with power (e.g., Stone Pro) with an external HDD or SSD attached.
