OK, so I bought a Time Capsule. And it seems to back up my laptop just fine (although slowly). And it seems that I could back up my FireWire-attached external HD (although for some reason when I try to back up that 150GB of data, Time Machine at some points complains that "failure occured while backing up" or something like that, and I would have to start from the beginning. But in any case....). I then decided to take that HD, and plug it via USB to the Time Machine. That way I wouldn't have noisy HD right next to me when I use the computer. Now, that works fine, but I can't find any way to back up that Time Capsule-attached HD to the Time Capsule.

So, how do I do it? I can back it up when it's connected to the computer, but how do I back it up when it's connected to the Time Capsule?
