[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1412949, member: 131855"] Don't feel bad I transpose those two names pretty often myself. I could be wrong about the connection between the Time Capsule and Mac. An Ethernet connection is not too bad. You should avoid doing the first backup wirelessly if possible though. That can be quite slow. I'm currently backing up my MB Pro in a way that is similar to what you want to do. I am using an external hard drive attached to the Time Capsule though. I think it slows me down to USB speed but the up side is that if there are any possible disk related errors I can disconnect the drive, plug it directly into the Mac, and attempt repairs. Those utilities don't usually see the Time Capsule. [/QUOTE]
