[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1815177, member: 396914"] Gavin, if I understand correctly, you have a data Time Capsule, let's call it "A," and a backup TC let's call "B." You want to share the files on A but have them backed up to B. Both are on the LAN. What I would do is to use something like Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper, or Chronosync to clone parts of A onto a folder in B as the backup. You don't want to overwrite what is on B, but any of those three products can do a scheduled copy from a location on A to a location on B without touching the rest of B. However, you should be aware that if you are backing up your computers to B and now also backup A to B that if B fails, you lose all backups at once. If you can, perhaps a third drive can be gotten and used as a backup target in addition to B? You don't need another TC, there are plenty of less expensive network drives out there than the TC that work well. Just about any might do. [/QUOTE]
