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

Can I use Time Capsule as a storage device as well as backup for my iMac using Time Machine, or can I only use it to back up files with Time Machine?
I'm currently using a WD 500GB Drive, which has a habit of turning itself into a standby state despite preference settings keeping it always on, and I have to restart the drive every time this happens, which is an inconvenience when storing files and no storage device is found when saving. I want to replace the WD with a 2TB Time Capsule and use the Time Capsule as a storage device, as well as a back up device via Time Machine for my iMac.

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

My MacBook Pro has Time Machine in the dock & I have an Airport Extreme. Is Time Machine the same as Time Capsule? Is Time Cap already on my MacBook?
Sorry, I am a novice obviously. My Mac needs to be repaired and I'm trying to find a way to backup my Mac before bringing it in. I keep reading about Time Capsule but see a lot of negative reviews. I hate to buy it esp. if I already have it. Thx!
