    Time capsule from windows

    Hi everyone, Not sure if this is the right section, so apologies if I´m wrong. Thing is I have a Time Capsule, the tall slim one, I use as a network drive. I used to use it as a router too so I could set up my MS surface and my MB pro to access the drive, but that was years ago. I just moved to...

    Asking for recommendations for repurposing Time Capsule

    Good morning! First, I hope you are all healthy and staying well. We've had a 2013 TC in the house since moving in here, and with everyone home ALL the time we figured now was a good time to upgrade. Bumped our internet to 400 mbs and a 2nd Gen Eero mesh is moving in later today. I'm...

    New MacBook Pro can't see old Time Machine backups

    I got a new MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago and the standard setup process gave it the same name (Norris's MacBook Pro) as my old one, which was still running High Sierra. I had been running Time Machine periodically on the old one, making backups to a 3TB Time Capsule. Because almost all the...

    Turn USB RAID enclosure into backup solution; RAID or JBOD?

    Been juggling a few different backup solutions in my home, limping by on scattered USB drives and an old Time Capsule that we've outgrown. Don't want to spend the money on a full NAS like a QNAP, thought it might be cheaper to trick out an old USB3 RAID enclosure to handle Time Machine backups...

    Life Post Time Capsule Line

    Now that Apple decided to sunset the Time Capsule line, what else is out there? Hint, anything that can take less than 12 hours to restore a 1 TB SSD?
