Now, they enable that feature, but only if you pay a premium for a new AEBS with a 'server grade hard drive' from Apple.

What's the bet they decided on Time Capsule before they released Time Machine, and didn't want to cannibalise sales?

Now come on Apple, how's about, now you have the firmware for the Time Capsule sorted, releasing the working code as a software patch for those of us who bought the AEBS for this feature?]]>Jan 15th 2008 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 16th 2008 5:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
I'm talking out of the box, of course, I'm sure that it'll be, er, modified to allow real NAS functionality if it doesn't include it.]]>Jan 15th 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
Looks like a pretty good price for a 1Tb NAS with a built in wireless-N router. ]]>Jan 15th 2008 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
What I think would be cool is if holding down a key on a mac at boot would search for your time machine and let you restore from backups straight from the machine, no boot disk needed.]]>Jan 15th 2008 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
And if it has that lovely Apple warranty, you're looking at another $100-$300 for AppleCare to cover it if the HDD fails after the first 90 days...]]>Jan 15th 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
It's times like these where I fear I need to backup my backups.]]>Jan 19th 2008 1:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
Of course, at $299, the 500gb is aggressively priced (HP's 500gb WHS box is already $599); but unless this proves to offer significantly more features, I could just buy a $99 500gb drive and a $30 single-drive NAS enclosure and get the same functionality.]]>Jan 15th 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
Apple its ok to copy MS on this one. Please do it for me.]]>Jan 15th 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
does this mean that time machine will work with any NAS now?]]>Jan 15th 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
I guess this means the fix will be out in Feb. After all, Time Capsule is just a branded, overpriced NAS. The code will have to be updated for it to work!]]>Jan 15th 2008 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
$150+ for a decent gigabit/802.11n router with USB
$100 for a 500 GB hard drive
$30+ for a USB enclosure for the hard drive

= $280, and not nearly as tidy or simple. At $300 the Time Capsule is really quite tempting.]]>Jan 15th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Feb 27th 2008 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
The proper use for a home NAS is to store your large libraries of photos, movies and music - backup your entire network - and have REDUNDANCY!

Of course a backup solution is not complete without OFFSITE backup. Jungle Disk/Amazon S3 is the best solution.]]>Jan 15th 2008 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 15th 2008 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Cheers]]>Jan 16th 2008 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/Jan 16th 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
And why, if the MBA is made in China & priced at $1799 in the US, they're £1199 in the UK? Last I looked, $1799 was £918.51. Rip-off Britain strikes again - or that's one hell of an expensive power socket adaptor.]]>Jan 16th 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/
I don't agree it' right, but it doesn't surprise me.]]>Jan 16th 2008 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/apple-introduces-time-capsule/I have a Vantec Nexstar LX enclosure that is sitting unused because it can't read my Linux/Win HDDs. :(]]>Jan 16th 2008 11:52PM
