[QUOTE="doug2507, post: 1096817, member: 168713"] Hi, I've got a macbook pro and a mac mini. The mini is used solely as a media centre and is connected to my hi-fi and tv. I've got an external HDD connected to the mini which is used for time machine backups and all music/films. (SSD internal on mini). Both the mini and macbook are connected wirelessly to my sky router. What i would like to do is be able to backup the macbook to the external drive with time machine. I don't even know if time machine can backup 2 systems? I'd also like to be able to access all files on the mini from the macbook and also file transfer from/to each other. Not sure where to start as even though they are connected to the same router i don't know how to see them both on my network! Probably quite a simple thing to do but i don't want to start goofing about with network preferences when i don't know what i'm doing. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
