[QUOTE="gavinanders, post: 1815166, member: 401932"] Thanks Nick! Firstly I have to apologise as IT isn't typically my domain, and Macs even less so - though you may have already gathered that! :) I'd not considered the impact of wired / wireless connections, but it's the intention that they'll both be connected by LAN cables (via a network switch). I try, where possible, to avoid relying upon wireless connections, but I would be happy to give it a go either way. You've got the idea of what I'm trying to achieve, but to give a bit of background, it's in a small office with two people sharing the same files on a constant basis. I like the perpetual backup that Time Capsule gives you as I know I couldn't trust them as far as I can throw them to manually back the information up. It probably rules out the above suggestion. Could it possibly work by permanently having Time Capsule A (the data storage) connected (via a cable) to one of the Macs as an external HD. That could presumably always allow them to access the data they need and for it to also be part of the hourly backups? Gavin [/QUOTE]
