Can a Time Capsule backup the contents of a Mac Mini Server as it would a normal Mac Mini?
We currently use a Time Capsule to back up everything up in the office but I'm thinking of installing a Mac Mini Server for us to work from and would like to use the Time Capsule purely just to back up all the data from the Mac Mini Server, just incase. Anyone out there running this setup or is it not possible?

two macs, one time capsule?
I have two macBooks, want to maintain separate disk images for each machine through my Time Capsule, can I do it and how?
or should I even bother since I built my new MacBook Pro off the disk image of my old MacBook and it worked great, if the new machine crashes I'll have an image and can restore to the old machine, and if the old machine craters I'll have the image from the new one to restore to another new machine?

What is the best upgrade option for a Time Capsule?
I have a 500GB Time Capsule. With the recent purchase of a second mac I need a lot more backup storage space, so I'm weighing my options. I do NOT want to add more and more devices - I would prefer to either upgrade to a larger hard drive on my existing TC (if possible) or simply upgrade to a newer TC with a larger 2TB drive.
Aside from the above question, I'm also curious if there's a seamless process available to set up the new drive or TC without having to configure all the settings from scratch.- Asked by Walter A from Hialeah

What's the best way to back up Time Capsule itself?
If I want to protect my data against physical theft or fire, I *think* I would need Time Capsule's data sent into the cloud or backed up to an external hard drive that I could store offsite. Is that correct?
Would the latter be as simple as taking a 2TB external drive, connecting it to Time Capsule, and then copying Time Capsule's files over to the external drive (I presume via one of the Macs on the network) from time to time. Is that fairly easy?- Asked by Gabriel Thomas J from Petaluma

will time capsule work with linksys 3000?
I have a modem from the cable company... I have a dell i7 with 8GB ramm, 1.5 TB and two - 2.0 TB drives and a 1 GB video card. I have connected this to a 32 " monitor with 4 HDMI imputs spaces... and it is imput #1. I have a loaded Mac Mini that is going into HMDI #2 with a 2 TB iomega drive attatched to it. I am interested on how I could use this 2 TB time capsule in conjunctions with my excisting linksys router wireless net work... I also have two iphones and two ipads... that already use the Linksys network along with two sony wireless computers. I would like to see if I could set up the Time Capsule to do the back up for the Mac Mini... and allow the iphone, ipads, and other wireless devices connect to it as well by changing the wifi network selction on that particular device... and still have it password protected? Oh... and also access the internet through this device as well? Do I need a dual output modem? Do they make those? BTW... the other two HDMI ports are going to be for an apple TV and a WDHD TV... the lights dim sometimes when I turn it on... I am interested in your thoughts on either how to handle this configuration... or is there a better option and what would be the trade-offs?

Can i mirror two computers via a time capsule?
I have a 27" iMac and a 13" Macbook Pro and i want to have both computers to be clones of each other. I want everything that is on my iMac to be on my Macbook and vise vera. Can this be done?
I spoke with one of the guys at the mac store and got a "deer in the headlights" look. I can't believe i am the only one out here that would want this function. I just want all my data to be with me at all times. If i leave town for a day or two i still need to work so i still need my data on my macbook and when i get back to the office i need everything i worked on to show up on my iMac.- Asked by Dean T from Truth Or Consequences

can I connect two time capsules
I have two 1 TB time capsules. How can I connect them together or how can I use the second unit to expand my network? I currently have 7 Apple computers on the network and a PS-3, in the basement, where the signal from the wireless network is the weakest.
