[QUOTE="MYmacROX, post: 1143130, member: 92466"] Yes, an external HDD would plug directly to the AE. You can get the same results using a decent router instead of the AE. Entirely up to your preference. As long as the router has a USB or FW plug in the back that matches to whatever type of ports your HDD has. Wireless backups aren't too bad if you do them frequently, but that very first one will be a killer! Consider at least doing the initial backup with your MBP plugged directly into your external HDD. This will save you HOURS of time! [/QUOTE]
