[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1815160, member: 56379"] Hello Gavin...welcome.:) Let's call the: - New data store Time Capsule "Time Capsule A". - Older Time Capsule used to back up your Mac's "Time Capsule B". Are you asking if the new data store "Time Capsule A" can be backed up to the older "Time Capsule B" wirelessly? If so...my thought is no...since there's no way for Time Capsule A to connect to Time Capsule B's WiFi network. What I think is possible...is to connect the newer data store "Time Capsule A" to one of your Mac's via a cable. Then the data store Time Capsule A is sort of temporarily acting as an external HD for this Mac...and when this Mac connects to the WiFi network of Time Capsule B...data store Time Capsule A can be backed up to it. Once the backup of data store Time Capsule A has completed...then you can disconnect it from the Mac...and continue using data store Time Capsule A as you did before. Maybe there's another way...but this method is what popped into my head first.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
