[QUOTE="Collin Bl, post: 840613, member: 95994"] Just thought i would add some info for your consideration; Time Capsule/Time Machine combo is not a bootable back up. There are ways to set it up that way per MaxFixit or OSXHints for example. Booting off OS on a HD or DVD will allow you to copy back your data from Time Capsule to a destination. For my money a better choice is to have and offsite Ext HD with a bootable back up on it using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. That way with fire/theft/mech failure, you can boot of HD thru another computer and keep working while sorting your computer. Meanwhile TimeCapsule has all historic changes and latest changes.
