I want to use SuperDuper to save my backups to my Time Capsule
but in the save backup "To" field theres no option to save it to the Time Capsule.

Is there something I need to do to the Time Capsule for it to show up in SuperDuper?

Thanks
Gregg
 
SuperDuper isn't designed to save files to a non-local drive (your Time Capsule is definitely non-local, since it can't be directly connected to a computer).
 
is there anyway around that so i can still use my time capsule?

Not sure if I'm missing something here but just ditch SuperDuper for Time Machine. I bought SuperDuper then stopped using it once Time machine was available. It works better IMO because of silent backups.

Along the same lines, if you really want to use SuperDuper, use it with a locally connected drive, and have Time Machine back up to your Time Capsule. This gives you the best of both worlds - a bootable backup should your system fail, and hourly snapshots of your files so you can restore all your lost work.
