Ok, so i went looking for a backup solution for all my kit, looked at all the options, time capsule, etc... and finally settled on a AEBS and a MyBook 1TB drive for flexibility and later expansion if required. from reading the forums it was a valid option.
both bits of kit landed yesterday, and i set the hard drive doing an initial back up via firewire / timemachine of my 200gig worth of data from my Imac.
All going good, unbox AEBS and a doddle to set-up, promps for a firmware upgrade - done, Timemachine finishes its first backup, move new drive to AEBS, i can see it as share, no probs, BUT timemachine cannot see the drive WTF !!, im now reading the the ast firmware update for AEBS breaks timemachine support
Sooooo, finally getting to the point im looking for a backup alternative to timemachine using my new 1TB drive plugged into my AEBS, to backup my IMAC, Macbook, Photos, Movies, Music etc etc
Please please can someone come up with a simple scheduled back-up solution
