Forgive me if this is a ridiculous question, because it seems ridiculous to me. I have a few questions about the 2TB time capsule sitting on my desk.

My MBP is currently being delivered, so if I could find out the information through trial and error I would! P.s. This is my first ever MBP.

1) Can I use time capsule to back up all my soon-to-be MBP with 256mb SSD? Whilst using it as an external hard drive? This, in my head, seems like a given - but how would I enable this feature? Because I've heard that messing around with the backup files in the TC causes issues.


2) If I am solely using the TC as a memory backup (no internet) is it as simple as plug and use (after being set up) ?
e.g. I take my MBP to college, plug in the TC, plug in MBP, MBP finds TC. Hey Presto, happy times.


3) Is it better to put my music files on the MBP? (keeping in mind 256SSD is all I have) or on the TC.

Thanks in advance!
