Connect a NAS to Time Capsule??

[keeper]

Hi All

I'm adding a NAS to store my itunes library.
Currently I have the Time Capsule set up as a wireless network connected as a bridge to my router via ethernet.

I assume the connection will be quicker if connected directly to the time capsule, however the install software can't see it when connected.

Any changes I need to make on the Time Capsule to allow this?

Cheers Phil

How are you connecting NAS to TC? Ethernet cable or USB?

I'm using an Ethernet cable.

Time Machine does not support backup to a network drive other than Apple Time Capsule.

However some enterprising people over on the Netgear ReadyNAS site have figured out how to enable Time Machine backup to a network drive, looking at the instructions there's no reason why it should not work for all network drives, i.e. not just Netgear ReadyNAS devices.

Take a look at http://www.readynas.com/?p=253, the instructions are a little involved though.
