I currently have a MBP backing up to my 1TB TC. I have a MP but it is backing up to another drive inside the MP. I want to continue to have both machines back up to separate drives.
Is it possible to remove the 1.5TB Time Machine drive from inside my MP, put it in an external drive enclosure, attach a USB hub to my Time Capsule and hang if off the network and continue to use it to back up my MP?
My only concern about my current method is that if something were to happen to the MP, like a power surge, it could potentially knock out both the Macintosh HD and the TM backup drive so physically removing it from the MP enclosure adds an extra layer of security.
