[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1426218, member: 197651"] Time Capsule is hardware. Time Machine is the software. I would (and do) use a separate HD all for TM that is 2x what the drive size is on the MBP. My drive is 500GB and I have a 1TB drive hooked to my Airport Extreme. All that drive is there for is Time Machine. You would need to look at the specs for the HP Microserver and see if it is Time Machine compatible. I know Western Digital LifeBooks and others are, but you need to check. there are dangers, however. If you already have data on the drive, even if you repartition it, and something fails, you have now lost not only your data, but your backups as well. As for your workflow, need more information.
