I'm hoping Office 2008 changes this. I still prefer Entourage for email and am seriously considering getting a Time Capsule (feel like I should say that in a booming voice for some effect).

Don't forget that these documents are actually folders with files in them so it is still possible to only backup the bits that have changed without having to copy across the whole project. If you have N wireless cards you're transmitting at speeds roughly equivalent to a harddrive's write speed anyway so it might not be an issue. - lowededwookie Thu, 17 Jan 2008 15:01:43 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/news/apple-news/apple-announces-time-capsule.html#comment-238 Yes..but that would be an entire iDVD project if you made just one change...or your entire Entourage email database (1GB for me at work) if I receive a single email....this is more an issue with those apps than TM. Hoping Office 2008 solves that for Entourage. This issue has been commented elsewhere on the net already - Philip Roy Thu, 17 Jan 2008 09:39:25 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/news/apple-news/apple-announces-time-capsule.html#comment-237 One thing to note too is that TimeMachine only does incremental backups (except for initially) which means it only backs up stuff that has changed so you're not really pushing a lot of data across the wireless. - lowededwookie Thu, 17 Jan 2008 09:19:04 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/news/apple-news/apple-announces-time-capsule.html#comment-236 Sounds a great idea to me. I like the idea of reducing clutter. Currently we have separate hard drives attached to each mac for backups. I like the idea of 1 wireless option. More than happy for it to work automatically in the background as speed then becomes less of an issue. - irncpl Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:41:34 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/news/apple-news/apple-announces-time-capsule.html#comment-229 It's got ethernet and USB...you could use either of those.... http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/specs.html - Philip Roy Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:44:19 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/news/apple-news/apple-announces-time-capsule.html#comment-228 yep, but for me i would rather have firewire connectivity. Just a personal preference thing I guess. - commandercool Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:37:55 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/news/apple-news/apple-announces-time-capsule.html#comment-227 Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a wireless router? - lowededwookie Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:15:58 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/news/apple-news/apple-announces-time-capsule.html#comment-225 it would be good if there was also a firewire option, as i am not sure if i want to do time machine backups over my wireless network. it would be slow!! - commandercool Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:35:28 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/news/apple-news/apple-announces-time-capsule.html#comment-221 Holy cow, $799(NZ - from Apple Store) for 1TB version. Get what I'm saving up for? :) - lowededwookie Wed, 16 Jan 2008 09:54:24 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/news/apple-news/apple-announces-time-capsule.html#comment-220 Absolutely superb product! This will be very useful to a lot of people. Even with an iMac, I didn't want the hassle of having an HD attached. Now if only they could combine an Airport Extreme, Time Capsule/Machine and Apple TV into one unit....it'd sit next to the TV but be quietly backing up your Mac for you at the same time !! ;D - Philip Roy Wed, 16 Jan 2008 09:37:18 +0100
