Apple Rolls Out 2TB, 3TB Time Capsule
- icefox 15y agoGreat little box's. Beyond being a switch/router/printer at its core that one time I recovered a corrupted file made it worth many times what I spent on it.
- metajack 15y agoConsidering that they were known to die and they only recovery methods were to destroy the device to get the drive out or to send it to Apple who won't give you your data back potentially, it seems a very poor choice for backups. I had one and liked it while it worked. When it died, just like everyone else's shortly after the warranty expired, I decided not to trust them anymore. I now use normal USB or Firewire attached drives for local backups and use CrashPlan for the what-if-my-house-burns-down scenario.

- stewiecat 15y agoI use both. Time machine in my home to back up mine and the wife's macs and Arq to offsite backup a subset of my home directory (docs, music, photos, settings).
