[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1914434, member: 396914"] By "remote drive" do you mean online? That's kind of what "remote" means. Or do you mean just an externally attached drive with a USB cable, etc? That's a direct attached drive. You can use a RAID drive for that (I have two of them). Or you can use a drive with its own attachment to the network, a network attached storage or NAS. And that NAS can be a straight drive or a RAID array as well. And if your router has a USB port on it, you could attach the drive to that port and be kind of like a Time Capsule. Time MACHINE, on the other hand, is the software to make a backup to any/all of these options. Frankly, the easiest thing for you is to get an external drive, either single or RAID, attach it to the Mac with the appropriate cable and use TM to make backups to it, either as a single or RAID drive. Keep it simple at this point. [/QUOTE]
