Apple Capitalized on Time Machine with Time Capsule
There�s no doubt that Apple spent a lot of R&D; hours perfecting Time Machine. It�s a fantastic backup solution. A Time Machine-esque solution exists in Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista despite what Apple�s latest ads suggest. On a side note, I hate that latest ad with the PC wowed that Mac can replicate itself back in time. That is built in to Windows Vista. It�s called Shadow Copies / Previous Versions and it rocks. SFTU, Apple.
Anyway, before Leopard was released, you could do time machine backups over the air to a hard disk attached to an Airport Extreme Base Station then in one of the later builds of Leopard, this feature was removed. Apple never talked about it or explained why it was gone. Then, at the Macworld 2008 keynote, Apple announced �Time Capsule� which is basically an Airport Extreme Base Station with an included hard disk drive. It�s a great idea and allows any Mac to backup to this drive over the wireless network. Apple didn�t announce if you�d be able to finally attach a hard drive to your Airport Extreme base station and achieve the same thing. That question remains unanswered.
If you have to buy Time Capsule to achieve over the air backups, that�s unfortunate because I bought your $179 Airport Extreme Base Station, a 500gb Western Digital MyBook and then went out to buy Leopard for $129 but now I need to buy Apple�s Time Capsule system for nearly $300 dollars which negates the nearly $500 I�ve already spent for my 802.11n base station and hard drive. Apple, I�m hoping you make the right decision and honor your original announcement of over the air backups with Time Machine without forcing us to use Time Capsule.
