[QUOTE="cjburr, post: 1335447, member: 163088"] I will definitely use the ethernet for the initial backup of the MBP's and the new iMac. As I purchased an Airport Extreme I'm going to use the external usb drive as my backup until I can purchase a Thunderbolt enclosure to use as a RAID array for my backup. As my wife really prefers not to have to do anything with the computer maintenance wise, I'm hoping this will be a stable network for the family's use that won't require much help from me via the remote access. I must say I'm extremely pleased with the help and documentation provided directly from Apple online. The tutorials and help available from the support pages is not something I'm used to having coming from the pc world. Usually I'm faced with trying to get answers from forums and spending large amounts of time looking everywhere for answers. I think from here on out I'll go directly to Apple first and if the answer isn't there, I'll come here :Cool: [/QUOTE]
