Apple has finally introduced Time Machine's long awaited sidekick, Time Capsule. In itself, Time Capsule is a revolutionary backup device that works wirelessly with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard, as well as a full-featured 802.11n Wi-Fi base station.
Time Capsule ships in two forms: 500GB or 1TB hard drive. It is
designed to overcome disaster with its best friend, Time Machine, in Mac OS X Leopard. Users just set Time Capsule as their designated backup drive for Time Machine and, depending on how much data they have, the initial backup with Time Capsule may very well take over 10 hours.
But this is just for the first time you perform a backup of all your files. After completion, the only files backed up again are the ones you usually access and change. The process is automatic, while everything is done wirelessly and, of course, in the background. You do whatever you have to do, as Time Capsule and Time Machine watch your back 24/7.
You can even use Time Capsule with multiple Macs, as long as they're running Leopard too. The designated backup drive for Time Machine can store and restore files for each Leopard-based Mac on a wireless network, according to Apple.
And, as if it wasn't a great piece of machinery already, Time Capsule is also a high-speed Wi-Fi base station, full-featured 802.11n one at that. It is compatible with Macs and PCs that use 802.11a, b, or g technologies, as well as wireless devices like Apple's own (iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV).
Apple's revolutionary backup device, that works wirelessly with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard, starts at $299 (500GB version). As Apple themselves put it, considering the headaches you've had so far with backing up your virtual life (or forgetting to do it at all), "data isn’t the only thing you’re saving" with Time Capsule.
