Hello,

I have a Time Capsule 1TB which backs up several macbooks and a few older iBooks too. It's also used for file and document storage.

The problem I have is there's a long list of Time Machine backup files which appear when someone accesses the TC. The filenames are quite techy and scary, and I also worry someone will delete them. Is it possible to move all the backup sparsebundles into a folder of their own, and away from the root folder? (and maybe even make that an invisible folder?)

I'm nervous about touching them in case Time Machine goes tits up again - getting the inital backup done was a massive pain, and I don't want to go through it again...

Thanks for any help
