[QUOTE="titina, post: 994953, member: 52709"] Hello all! I'm in a similar position with the OP in that we've already got a router (as provided by our ISP) I want to set up a backup for our two macbooks: one is running leopard the other tiger. I know can just get any external drive to use for back-ups but i am wondering if there are definite benefits in spending the extra ££ for apple's time capsule? for example, I understand TC will back up wirelessly. Is it possible that I could set a different type of drive to do the same via our router? I'm liking the idea of something that works in the background and I don't need to connect it to each machine once a week or something to run a back-up...particularly as we both just use our MB on the sofa and don't have 'workstations' as such.
