Can i sync two time capsule via WAN?

I want to set up a new time capsul in my company, and i like to know if i can sync them with a time capsul which stands in my house?

Sorry, but no. You cannot sync two or more Time Capsules regardless of if they are remote or on the same LAN. You could; however, operate them as completely separate Time Machine backup destinations.

Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Not via Time Machine. It cannot back up from a network location.
The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
EDIT: And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port. Second TC not required.

Can I access my Time Capsule via web, even if it´s not connected to a mac??

Yes, but the issue is the IP address. If you have a static IP from your ISP it is easy.. Or if you use another router with dyndns it is easy.. but Apple make it exclusive to their network so you can have loads of issues without a computer to function as a client for dns.
Look up remote Time Capsule access .. there is plenty of info out there.

How to sync two time capsules?

I have two time capsules on my network and want to set them to automatically sync files between them for redundancy. How do I do this?

In theory, you could have another application like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper backup Time Capsule 1 to Time Capsule 2, but the same risks apply.. I haven't tried this....and won't....but maybe another user has.
Agree with Bob.. what you can do and what you should do are different. It is possible to use CCC and put the two TC in sync. The result will still be only as good as the quality of the first disk. That is a very slow way to backup.. TC is not designed as a NAS so it has no internal ability to sync files. It is purely designed as a target for Time Machine.
If you do use CCC all packets are copied via the computer.. over the network.. so if you use wireless expect to never finish.. before the next TM backup starts and CCC will still be syncing.. ie you will have created an endless loop. Don't do it.

Can you use two Time Capsules and back up both with Time Machine.

My little iMac hard drive (250GB) is quickly filling up with my iTunes library (180GB). I have a 500GB Time Capsule which I use to back up my system via Time Capsule. I would like to move my iTunes library to an external hard drive. If I add the 1TB Time Capsule and use it as my main system back up and wireless router can I use my 500GB Time Capsule as an external drive to locate my iTunes library? Will I be able to back up both my iMac HD and the 500GB Time Capsule to the 1TB Time Capsule using Time Machine or some other method?
Finally if I can do this can I have both Time Capsules running wireless?

Could I simply make a copy and move it between the two Time Capsule on a routine basis say every two weeks or month?
Yes
I know I will have to "point" or "map" the new location of my iTunes library to the external hard drive/2nd Time Capsule. Once that is done wouldn't Time Machine then just find the location and back it up along with all the data on the iMac hard drive?
Since this Time Capsule would be connected wirelessly or via Ethernet to your Mac, it would appear as a network drive. Time Machine will not back up data FROM a network drive. Therefore Time Machine will not back up data on this other Time Capsule.

HT6065 I installed this update and I no longer can access my AirPort Time Capsule via Finder

When I click on 'AirPort Time Capsule' in Finder, Finder crashes.
I have hundreds of films on a USB drive connected to my AirPort Time Capsule and I no longer can access them on my home network....
Luckily AirPort Utiity still works and I could restart Capsule but no improvement.
Likewise Time Machine still works...

Can I (or How can I) chain two Time Capsules on one network for two Macs?

Currently we have one dual-band TC connected to our cable modem. Mac 1 backs up to it. I also have an original TC (one-band) that I would set to 5GHz dedicated for Mac 2.
Would this plan work and provide Backup and Internet to both machines?
Cable Modem --->TC1--->TC2
Mac 1 would connect to TC1 for Time Machine function and Internet Access.
Mac 2 would connect to TC2 for Time Machine function and Internet Access.
(---> = Ethernet cable)

No changes needed on TC1, but you may need to use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to note a few of the settings on TC1, such as the exact type of security that it is using now since that information will be used to configure TC2.
Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on TC1 to the WAN port (circle icon) on TC2*. Open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup and TC2 should appear. If not, you'll need to "hard reset" TC2 by holding in the reset button until the amber light begins to blink more quickly, hold another few seconds when you see this and then release
Click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to name your device, assign a device password and set Time Zone settings
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as TC1 network**
No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended unless you plan to add more wireless device to extend the network
Radio Mode = 802.11n only 5 GHz
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as TC1
Wireless Password = Same password as TC1
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and let TC2 restart. Then power down the entire network. Power up the modem first, then TC1, then TC2, then each device one at a time. Allow a moment or two for each device to fully power up before you start the next.
*When the TC is in Bridge Mode, it really makes no difference which port you use to connect, as they all behave the same. I use the WAN port as a habit for connections like this so that I know at a glance where the connection is coming from. But, you could connect to one of the LAN ports on TC2 if you prefer.
**Assign a different name than TC1 if you want to log on separately to the network that TC2 provides
Be sure to setup Mac2 to backup to TC2 for Time Machine and you should be all set.

Can I have two Time Capsules and back up to both?

Would it be possible to have two TC, one at each end of the house and have them share the same network wirelessly? And allow backup to each one independently, so as to have duplicate backups on two units?
Thanks,
Richard

It may be possible with some work-arounds, but I wouldn't recommend it (time machine or apple doesn't support something like this). Backing up wirelessly and duplicating that backup wirelessly will take an incredible amount of time.
I'd set up the time capsule as your main base station and use another airport (like the express) to extend the signal if you're having wireless connection issues.
To make backups of the time capsule drive, the best thing to do is to plug a usb hard drive into it and use the archive function in airport utility. This copies the time capsule disk to the external drive which you can then move to another location.

Can I have two Time Capsules in the same network, use one as Time Machine and other to expand network?

I need to purchase a divice to expand my Wi-fi network. I was looking at the AirPort Extreme, but a friend has a brand new Time Capsule for sale. So, for the same price of the AirPort Extreme, I´m getting the Time Capsule.
I already own one and using it as Time Machine and wireless router. If I decide to purchase another TC would it have any conflict with the one that I already have?
Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?

No
Is it possible to use one as Time Machine and wireless router and the other to just expand network and storage only (not as Time Machine)?
Yes. The important thing to remember is that the "extending" Time Capsule must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your "main" Time Capsule.

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite on my Mac, I can only configure my time capsule via iPhone. My Mac cannot locate for backup, but CAN find as my internet router. I have followed all suggestions I can locate and have upgraded to newest version.

Time Capsule in Yosemite can be used for router/internet but Mac cannot locate for backups.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Access Time Capsule via WAN on Windows

Hello
Please can someone tell me if they have been able to access a time capsule remotely from a windows box? I have afp working on Mac, but need a similar solution for windows?
Thanks
Mike

Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the three LAN <--> ports on the Time Capsule to your Mac. Turn off the WIFi on the Mac and you are all set.
Whether or not the Ethernet connection will result in significantly faster performance when you enter Time Machine is open to question, since a lot of data must be loaded when you start up Time Machine to look at backups. In most cases though, a wired connection will load things faster than wireless.
Please let us know on your results.

How can I connect two Time Capsules with UTP

Hello,
I have one TC connected with UTP (WAN-port) on my modem to Internet on the second floor. I have a good WiFi-signal on the second floor.
I bought on new TC to get a better WiFi-signal on the first floor and also used for backup.
I like to connect TCold with TCnew with UTP to get a great network. I shoos UTP-connection in stead of WiFi, to get a faster performance from my network.
So I will use both WiFi-signals from both TC's, but de TC must be communicate with UTP, not with WiFi.
I think I connect UTP in my LAN-port from TCold
Which ports do I use on the TCnew (WAN-port or LAN-ports)?
How do I configurate de software?
Sometimes I see not 2 but 4,5 or 6 TC's in my network???
When I disconnect UTP between the TC's the connection with WiFi is 450 Mbit/s.
When I connect UTP between the TC's the connection is 217 Mbbit/s????????????
Can somebody help me?

The main thing is that TCnew is in bridge mode..
Open the airport utility.. go to the TCnew and select it as bridge mode.
Then go to the wireless tab, and create a wireless network of the same name and security as the TCold.
You are probably in extend wireless now and that is wrong.

Can I have two time capsules on the same network

Is it possible to have two TC on the same network, I have a 500Gb 1st Gen TC which I have replaced with a 2TB 4th Gen TC but still want to use the 500Gb. Is this possible and how do you set up?
Thanks

How do you want to use the old one? Is it simply for storing random files? I assume random files right that you wish to access/store/delete/share? If thats the case, just plug it in without connecting to anything.
You simply would connect to it this way - "Finder/Go/Connect to Server/10.0.1.1
You'll need to click the "+" sign after you enter that addy. Or better yet, go into the airport utilty for that device and assign it a special ip addy. That will make it easy to identify. Then follow those same steps. Viola, you will see the device in your finder and access it just like a portable drive but on a network instead.

HT4259 Direct Connect Two Time Capsules together with Ethernet.

I have TWO Time Capsules ( One upstairs providing Time Machine backup to IMAC #1 ) and (One downstairs providing Time Machine Backup to IMAC#2)
I would like to extend the wireless network portion of this to reach the whiole house with ONE wireless network. I know I can EXTEND the network, but my question is can Connect the two time capsules together via Ethernet cable ( my house is pre wired). This will essentially ensure that the two devices have a solid connection instead of relying on WIRELESS.
Any reasons to NOT do this?
Time Machine will be used differently on the two devices.
Thanks
Ron

Hello!

Yes, if you use an application like Genie Timeline Pro, which was designed for this type of purpose. Genie Timeline will make a complete copy of your Dell on the first backup. After that, it will only backup the changes that have occurred since the last backup.
