[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1289614, member: 131855"] I did find this video on how to create a fixed sized sparse bundle for use with the Time Machine/Capsule combo. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y41brrCffY]Create a fixed size sparse bundle image for Time Machine on Mac OS X - YouTube[/url]. The process was first talked about on Macosxhints.com AFAIK. It's a bit convoluted but should work.
