I currently have a Time Capsule which is used to store all my music and video (and soon photos), however I initially bought it to be a back up and as a result now have no back ups.
I'm thinking of buying a standard Mac Mini (maybe just an old one with 2Gb RAM) and plugging my TC into it to use as an external HD. My intention is to leave these on all the time to use to store ALL files on. I use a MacBook all the time and want to know whether this will work. IE I will be able to wirelessly access any file on the Mac Mini or it's external HD via my MacBook.
The Second part...If I buy a second TC to have as a back up HD will my Mac Mini and external HD both be able to back up onto it via Time Machine?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice anyone can provide. In theory, I think this will all work, but I you guys REALLY know your stuff
