[QUOTE="cjburr, post: 1335148, member: 163088"] It appears you can select the Time Capsule via WiFi in the Airport utility set up? or am I not reading this correctly? The drive on my local network doesn't show up for me so perhaps this is only an option with the Time Capsule? Seems like it will back up her MBP over the WiFi but do you need to partition the Time Capsule drive for each MBP and the iMac so they each have their own space on the drive to back up to or does the Time Capsule differentiate between them by itself? The support tutorials on the Apple.com page are pretty good, perhaps if I download the user manual it may help but my download speeds here in the sandbox are about 4 to 20 kbps so perhaps someone will chime in with an answer before I have to resort to dragging down our pitiful network with a download. Thanks for providing me a place to ask questions even as I still try to figure it out myself :Cool: [/QUOTE]
