I want to activate Time Machine, but I am getting stuck during the very first steps.
I have an EHDD connected to my AE. I am able to connect to the EHDD wirelessly. I wish to use my EHDD as the storage device for Time Machine.
My EHDD is not listed among the backup disks (there are none) and I can continue by setting up Time Capsule. This allows me to change the settings of my AE, but I can't see what I should change to enable Time Machine.
One last question, does Time Machine compress the data? I have about 40 GB on the EHDD but have used 100 GB on my Macbook Pro. Is it out of the question that I use my EHDD as my backup?
