hey all,

i have an old G4 tower that i still use for my main work. i have a 750gig usb/fw ext hd hooked up to that for back up. i use superduper for that. i also have a macbook that i would like to back up as well to that same ext hd. is there a way to back it up wirelessly thru my tower? i realize i can do a simple drag n drop to my public folder from the macbook and then have superduper pick it up that way, but id like to know if theres a way for the macbook to be backed up on a schedule, wirelessly. thanks in advance.

p.s. i have an airport base station for internet.

In order to share more than your public folder use Share Points

HornWare: SharePoints

ah yes, forgot about Sharepoints. we used to use that here at work before we got a big server.

so does that mean i could install superduper on the macbook, and have it back up to whatever "sharepoint" i designate?

It will just be a mounted disk, so as long as there is room then yes
