    Yes.
    In Time Machine preferences, you are shown a list of all hard drives, internal and external, connected to your computer. You can select which ones you want to back up using Time Machine, in this case, to your Time Capsule.
    I have an external hard drive for extra memory, and I am able to back it up to my Time Capsule.

  • My understanding is that if you specify additional drives then time capsule can see them but you can only specify one disk at a time to use as backup.
