  1. This may be a great add on but It’s a total CROC that Apple still hasn’t added compatibility with regular external drives. Those of us with a new base station no have to buy time capsule in order to wirelessly back up?

    I hope this isn’t apples way of just making money and forcing us to buy more products that we really don’t need when they do have the ability to make this function work with normal ExT Drives.

    We have the base stations, the drives, just give us a software/firmware update to Time Machine & the Base stations to make this work already ….!!!!!!

  2. I still want to know can i put all my tv shows and movies on time capsul then acess them from my apple tv? If so this would be great no need to stream from a computer and no need for the sink time to the apple tv.

  3. Just Google how.

    And SuperDuper is fine but it does NOT do what Time Machine does: effortless hourly and weekly histories, effortlessly browsed and retrieved when needed.

    Obviously if your drive is wireless then even Super Duper won’t get you to boot unless you have a MacBook air or OS X Server. But wireless is worth it.

  4. Very funny thread. I am the original Ampar. Whether you choose to believe it is your wrestle. Those with a modicum of intelligence and more spare time than me can figure it out pretty easily with a historical search and comparison.
    But thanks for the love and the hate. It’s just so damn funny.

    Back on topic, I’m going to have to get the 1 TB version. It’s plenty of room for backups including video.

    And off topic it might be more fun to return to the world of aliases.

    P.S. I have a cousin named Shlomo.
