[QUOTE="jerryhilbert, post: 972085, member: 137434"] Hi, before going to buy a Time capsule, I have a few questions: (1) Airport only? I have a CABLED network and would like to access the time capsule as a cabled device. Basically (at this stage) I don't intend to activate the airport features. >>a> Obviously the device is featured for it's WLAN capacities, but would Time Machine also recognize/find it on a cabled network? (2) What capacity? I have an IMac with Snow Leopard and a MacBook with Leopard which should both backup to the Time Capsule. >>a> Does Time Machine apply a compression ratio to the files when copying them to the Time Capsule (and what is the average compression rate) >>b> How does Time Machine handle files that are being deleted. Will they also be removed from the Time Capsule? (4) Restore >>a> is it possible to restore only specific files >>b> How are files identified on a Time Capsule (is metadata (backup time, etc.) included)? (4) Configuration >>a> Does Time Capsule offer a webinterface for configuring it? Thanks in advance, Jerry [/QUOTE]
