I've got a 1TB hard drive which I've set up to be my time machine backup, which is great and it's working fine. However, I really wanted a wireless one but just couldn't afford it. Now I had a bit of a moment and thought "if I bought a wifi USB adapter could I do it wirelessly?"...
Well... could I? Simply plug in the USB adapter onto the hard drive and use the Wi-Fi built into my Macbook Pro (late 2010 model) and then have my time machine backups done wirelessly? I've read on google that this might not be possible, but unless I'm being dumb I don't see any issues? It would be really handy as I spend most of my time on the couch not at a desk so having the HDD attached is a bit of a nuisance.
Any help on this would be appreciated!

Tim
