[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 1491469, member: 88633"] You don't NEED to get Time Capsule, it would just make things simpler. But it's already a simple matter to back up your hard drive. A portable or external hard drive would be much cheaper and you wouldn't even necessarily need to keep it plugged in all the time. If you do leave it plugged in it will back up any changes every hour, but if you don't need every single little change backed up, you could just plug it in once a day or once a week and back things up that way. Or just leave the drive plugged in and eject it whenever you need the extra port. Setting it up is easy. Just open Time Machine, select the drive when it asks you to, click "On" and let it do its thing. That's it. [/QUOTE]
