Is there a way to use the backup use on the time capsule for a pc?
I have a mac desktop and a pc desktop and both are using internet with it (the pc is wired and the mac is wireless) and the mac also is backed up to it but the pc isn't. I'm trying to figure out a way to back up the pc with the time capsule.

What is the easiest way to backup my PC files & trf to my Mac using the time capsule.
I have purchased a Macbook Pro and a Time Capsule to replace my old desktop PC.
We have all of our photos stored on our old PC and I would like to transfer these to our new Macbook, for two main reasons.
1) To use the editing facilities available on the Macbook through some of the excellent software provided, and
2) More importantly, to link with the Time Capsule so that all of our irreplaceable photos are permanently backed up to allay our fears of losing them, and for piece of mind that any additions will automatically be backed up.
I would really appreciate a quick guide on the easiest solution to extract the files from the PC to the Macbook and Time Capsule, without any requirement for any additional hardware, if possible.- Asked by Alan & Lisa A

Can I make a backup of my TimeCapsule backup?
The issue I'm wanting to avoid is loss of data if I lose both the computer and the Time Capsule (i.e. fire or theft). So can I attach an external hd to the Time Capsule and set it to make backups of the Time Capsule backup. I would then rotate external hard drives, keeping one locked in a fireproof safe or off-site. Or is there another way to achieve this?

Can I connect my Mac with multiple time capsules (one in the office, one at home)
Fairly simple; I have 2 Macbooks at home and a Time Capsule. Works fine. Now one of my macbooks comes in the office (with 10 other Mac and PC users), it now also needs to connect to the time capsule at work and create a second backup of my machine. This way I have two backups that are on separate locations providing a better data security.

Can Time Capsule be used interchangeably with PC and Mac?
I'm looking at purchasing a Time Capsule and Mac Mini but have a few questions before I make the investment. First, would I be able to backup my files from my old desktop PC to the Time Capsule? The TC would be in an existing wireless network at one residence while backing up the PC. Then I would want to bring the TC to another residence with another existing wireless network where I would have the Mini, my iPad 2, iPhone 4 and iPod touch. If adding the TC to the second existing wireless network, would I still have the ability to wirelessly back up my Mini and iOS devices? Basically I've got an old desktop at my dad's house that I want to back up and then bring the TC to my apartment where I use my landlord's wireless Internet.

Does the initial first back-up performed on Time Capsule have to be wireless or is there a way to do so hard-wired?
I've used Airport Extreme with a 1TB drive connected via USB. Performing the initial backup wirelessly takes an extraordinary long time.
Is there a way to perform the first back up "hard-wired" to the Time Capsule and then allow subsequent backups to occur wirelessly?- Asked by Edward C from Washington
