[QUOTE="Trolle, post: 1182643, member: 86801"] While doing my own research I read this line at Mac 101: "Time Machine can’t back up to an external disk that's connected to an AirPort Extreme, or to an iPod, iDisk, or a disk formatted for Microsoft Windows (NTFS or FAT format)." So, no built-in option to use Time Machine with an externally connected HDD. And...from Apple's perspective that would be a direct competitor to Time Capsule so they no longer offer it (I read that it was available in 2008 and subsequently removed when Time Capsule came around...purely business).
