Back up one time capsule to another

I already have an older 1Gb TC. I'm now thinking of getting another one, probably 2Gb. What I'd like to do is store my iTunes library etc. on the 1Gb TC and use Time Macine to back up that to the new 2Gb TC. Does anyone know if that's possible? Or will TM only see a Time Capsule as a target rather than a source?

can you use time capsule as a hard drive

I am running out of memory and would like to transfer data like photos to another hard drive and erase the photos from my Macbook. Can I use the time capsule or is an external hard drive better. Also I have one but it doesn't show what I have stored in it. It is only for back ups. Want one that I can access and able to view pics, documents etc. Any advice??

can I back up vista on a time capsule?

I have a Macbook and an iMac. For wireless I have an airport and an airport extreme. I want to add a Time Capsule because I want to have more coverage in another part of the house and to back up both machines. Im sorry to have to admit, but my wife has a Dell with Vista Home installed. Can she use the Time Capsule also with Vista?

Transferring songs from iTunes to Time Capsule

My partner is a DJ and I have finally convinced him that my poor Acer laptop can no longer hold his excessively large collection of music that he uses to burn CDs required for his various gigs. He has agreed that we finally need to upgrade and look at getting an iMac. (yay!)

My question is, would the time capsule allow me to save all of our iTunes music files onto it to store, rather than store them on the PC? When he requires the songs, will the TC then allow him to stream relatively uninterupted back to the iMac for burning/listening/mixing?

I'm hoping to be able to get his music collection seperate storage to my basic music collection, and allowing me to keep the space on the iMac free for my photography etc.

Can Time Capsule back up a PC running Windows Vista?

Both of our family's MacBooks AND my wife's PC are able to use Time Capsule wireless signal with no problems.

The Macs are effortlessly backed up by the Time Capsule using Time Machine.

But even after installing Airport Utility onto the PC using the DVD/CD that came with the Time Capsule, the PC's Airport Utility can't find my Time Capsule. Page 18 of my little Time Capsule Setup Guide shows the PC being able to do this, so maybe something is wrong.

Is it possible for Time Capsule to automatically back up ALL our computers, both Mac and PC?

Thank you.
