Kevin,

Thanks for posting this. I wouldn’t have known to run software update otherwise due to tax season. I’m never too busy to check JKOTR! :) I attached a USB drive to my AEBS and my wife’s powerbook is backing up just great. My Air seems to get stuck trying to back up to it and never finishes. I haven’t had time to figure out why. Oh well, back to taxes!

How does the performance of backing up over the network to a Time Capsule compare to using an Airport Extreme plus an external USB drive?

The question is… How does the performance of backing up over the network to a Time Capsule compare to using an Airport Extreme plus an external USB drive? I suspect the Time Capsule would be faster but has anyone benchmarked it?

Eric, I don’t think Time Machine officially supports anything other than a Time Capsule or a USB drive hanging off an AirPort Extreme base station. I haven’t seen any reports of anyone getting it to work with a USB drive on a Windows machine.

nomo, I wonder if installing Bonjour for Windows will work?

Similar to the previous question: Is there an application that can be used with Vista and an Airport station (not Airport Extreme) to share a(n) USB hard drive in the same way?
