MacVoices #874: Talking Time Capsule, Time Machine and More with Glenn Fleishman and Joe Kissell (Part 2)

Glenn Fleishman of Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Network and Joe Kissell, the author of Take Control of Easy Backups in Leopard, continue our discussion of Time Capsule and related topics by reviewing who Apple’s backup appliance and Time Machine, the related software, are really appropriate for. Glenn and Joe also cover the new backup options with Airport Extreme base stations, why they aren’t quite the same as those offered by Time Capsule and why they may have been an accident. The second in our two-part conversation wraps up with information on the server grade hard drives in the Time Capsule that you might not have thought about, some differences between the 500GB and 1 TB models you probably don’t know about, and our expert’s bottom line recommendations on all of the available Apple hardware backup options.
