I can't seem to read the information or see how to transfer or recover backup to the other computer.

Can you use a time capsule to backup multiple computers and store an aperture vault?

I have a MacBook and a Mac Mini currently being backed up on two different hard drives. I want to consolidate this and by the website it seems I can on the Time Capsule. I also have another hard drive with my Aperture Vault on it, can that be the Vault be directly on the Time Capsule too does Aperture allow this?

Can a Time Capsule backup the contents of a Mac Mini Server as it would a normal Mac Mini?

We currently use a Time Capsule to back up everything up in the office but I'm thinking of installing a Mac Mini Server for us to work from and would like to use the Time Capsule purely just to back up all the data from the Mac Mini Server, just incase. Anyone out there running this setup or is it not possible?

Can I use 2 different time capsules for the same computer? I have 2 homes that I want to use the same computer at.

I would like to be able to back up my MacBook Pro at 2 different houses. I have a Time Capsule at one home but am thinking about getting one for my 2nd home. Will this cause any confusion with my back-ups? I've thought about just taking the Time Capsule back & forth between houses but this is not convenient since I have to travel by air. I am usually at my 2nd home for 3 months or more so I don't want to miss my back-ups.
Thanks

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 I backup over the internet my files using time machine in my macbook when I'm at home while the time capsule is at the office?

I want to leave the Time Capsule in one place, and still be able to backup my macbook files on the road when I get access to a WiFi spot. Is that possible with Time Machine + Time Capsule? I know such a service is called MobileMe, but is it available with this Time Capsule since I want to backup several computers and external hard drives in the local network that requires a lot of storage capacity.

Can you back up an external hard drive that's an auto backup of 1 TC (connected via USB) with another second TC?

So the hard drive is an auto back up of the first TC via USB and I'm wondering if I can have another TC backup that external hard drive. In the end I would have three backup/copies of the same thing.
