[QUOTE="DarthBrent, post: 1391920, member: 247190"] Hi there, I'm a first time contributor so please forgive me if I seem a little "wet behind the ears"... I have a 2011 iMac (which replaced my 2006 G5 iSight model) and a 500gb Time Capsule. I have my iTunes Library (which is approximately 150gb) on the Time Capsule but, given the relatively modest 500gb on the capsule there is not enough room to back up my computer. I have been looking at 2tb external firewire hard drives and I am hoping to move my iTunes library onto one of these and then use the capsule to back up my computer with Time Machine (the Mac has an internal 500gb hard drive). I'm hoping this will be a relatively straightforward task! The downside with this is of course, I will not have a back up of my iTunes library...with the hardware that i have does anybody have any advise or better ideas!? Thanks in advance for your help!
