Can I use this to mirror the drive on my time capsule. Ie using the USB port on both and does time capsule have utility for this?

I want to go all solid state on machine and then use three or for time capsules linked to these. Or is there a better technique for this. Maybe wireless router with connected mirror raids. I would prefer not to create server. I want to be able to grab drive and power cord and take it whenever I want. I don't want any wires on my computers. Obviously I will need a few but this would be ideal in 2 terabyte models if this possible

Backup 3 x 1TB hard drives...

I have a MacPro with 3 separate internal 1TB hard drives. I need to setup a backup system so that all three drives are backed up. Do I do this by using a 1 x 3 TB drive, or by using a 3 x 1TB RAID?

In an ideal world it would be nice to have it all plugged in so that it just backs itself up automatically in the background, rather than me having to keep stopping and drag folders across to various drives etc.

Many thanks,

Nick
