[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1180952, member: 45350"] I started out with a 500GB Timecapsule and tried to use it to back up my MBP and my wife's MacBook, but had to give up on the idea because of lack of capacity, and frankly speed of wifi backup was too slow. I have since switched to using individual USB and FireWire Seagate drives with Timemachine and that works pretty well. Both drives are small (a little bigger than an iPhone) and powered by their respective ports so no adaptor required. As far as size goes, depends on how much of your current drive space you are using, but I wouldn't go smaller than the drive you are trying to back up. [/QUOTE]
