Hello Everyone. First time poster here.
I have a new 6th gen AirPort Extreme and I've connected an external hard drive for time machine backups. From what I can tell this is now supported with the newest AirPort Extreme.
My question is will I be able to run a backup over the network then plug the drive directly into my laptop via usb to do a restore? Or will I need to do any restore also over network?
Also will I be able to use the same drive and sometimes plug it into my laptop for a time machine backup or will it always need to backup over the network?
Thanks.
