Moving Backup from Time Capsule to External Drive. Help Please

[illegalprelude]

Hey everybody, my 2TB Time Capsule is starting to get filled and I figured that I could just leave that for the laptops around the house while I backup the iMac from an external drive plugged in to it. The question is, can I move the Backup from my TC to my external drive and have Time Machine continue to backup from there or do I have to just start all over?

Seeing how my iMac backup is sitting near 900GB, I figured I would ask before I started this multi-day transfer, just to find out it was pointless

Thanks in advance!

One of the Time Capsule repair sites had some instructions on this. I can't find the link right yet.

Just note that you can use the USB port on the TC to back it up as well.

EDIT: This might help, but backwards. http://www.unlikelywords.com/2009/01/05/moving-a-time-machine-backup-to-a-time-capsule/
