Ok, so I have an airport extreme, a macbook pro, and two 1Tb external HDs. I now have Time machine backing up my macbook HD to the airdisk connected to the airport extreme which works great. So that backs up about 60-100 Gb of data locally stored on the laptop. However, I have 600+ Gb of pictures, movies, and music on the airdisk that I want to "archive" to a second harddrive connected to the Airport Extreme wirelessly and automatically. I have heard that the new Time Capsule can archive to an external drive automatically. Is there a way to do this with an airport extreme? I like the streamlined setup and wireless access to my files (although sometimes slow). Unfortunately, I am still having to manually manage a the backup of the majority of my data dispite the ease of time machine.

Any help would be great.
