I'm considering purchasing a 1TB Time Capsule for the shared use of my roommates (who use Windows notebooks) and myself (MacBook Pro).
I am hoping to set it up so that in addition to my Time Machine backup, each of my roommates has access their own folder/virtual drive they can use to manually back up important files.
On Apple's AirPort Extreme site, it says that with AirPort Disk Utility "you can set up password-protected accounts for everybody on the network" -- and I assumed that the same thing held true for the TC.
But then I recently read something that implied that with Time Capsule you cannot create separate accounts on the drive, and that you cannot specify permissions for using the Time Capsule beyond allowing either complete access or read-only access to the entire 1TB of data.
I've been searching around the forums and couldn't figure it out. Can someone clear this up for me--- could I set up Time Capsule so that each of my roommates can backup their important files (manually, from Windows) to the TC without being able to view/edit the files from each other's folders?
Thanks in advance for any help
