Hi,
I just have a pretty basic question that I should know the answer to. I'm needing to back up my Macbook Pro to a Time Machine. I'd like not to use a cat-5 because it takes a while, and instead I'd like to do it with USB since there's a USB port on the Time Machine. Problem is I don't know what kind of cable I need. I've been looking online and so far I've seen "data transfer" cables and "usb male to male" cables, but are these not the same thing? Or am I missing something? If not, what is the difference?
Thanks,
