Backing up is something we all know we should do, but often don’t. And while disaster is a great motivator, now it doesn’t have to be. Because with Time Capsule, the nagging need to back up has been replaced by automatic, constant protection. And even better, it all happens wirelessly, saving everything important, including your sanity.
Even faster Time Machine backup.
Time Capsule includes a wireless 2TB or 3TB hard drive1 designed to work with Time Machine in OS X Leopard or later. Just set Time Capsule as the designated backup drive for Time Machine, and that’s it. Depending on how much data you have, your initial backup with Time Capsule could take overnight or longer. After it completes, only changed files are backed up — automatically, wirelessly and in the background. So you never have to worry about backing up again.
Backup for everyone.
Have multiple Mac computers in your house? Time Capsule can back up and store files for each Mac running OS X Leopard or later on your wireless network. No longer do you have to attach an external drive to each Mac every time you want to back up. Time Capsule spares you the work.
Room for it all.
Time Capsule is your one place for backing up everything. Its massive 2TB or 3TB server-grade hard drive gives you all the capacity and safety you need. So whether you have 250 songs or 250,000 songs to back up, room is the last thing you’ll run out of. And considering all that storage and protection come packaged in a high-speed Wi-Fi base station starting at NZ$459 RRP, data isn’t the only thing you’re saving.
Using Time Capsule with Time Machine.
You can get Time Capsule up and running quickly and easily using Time Machine. After Time Machine detects your Time Capsule on the network, you simply designate it for backup and it’s ready to go. All in a few clicks.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu, and then click Time Machine.
Slide the switch to ON. Choose your Time Capsule and click “Use for Backup”.
Give your Mac several hours or overnight to complete the initial backup.
