How do I backup my files that are stored on my time capsule?

I use my time capsule as network storage (ie, iTunes library, iPhoto library, and lots of personal files). This way my wife and I can access these files from our individual laptops. Is there a good solution to automatically back these files up? I know Mozy does not support backing up of shared volumes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Bungalow, welcome to the discussions!
Take a look at the Archive function to see if this might do what you want.
Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Disks (icon at the top of the pane).
Please post back on your findings.

Easy way, CLONE IT to another HD
HD cloning software options:
1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.

BAD IDEA
You want one backup (ie Time machine) and one (or more) data archive of just all your raw files (drag and drop, or cloned etc.)

How do I change my apple Id with out loosing my files that are stored on my mac

I would like to change my apple Id. When I tried to log out of iCloud the program warned me that all files that are stored on the cloud will be deleted from my mac. I would just like everything to remain untouched and begin using a different apple ID

Hi Alan,
If you wish to use different Apple IDs for different Apple services on your Mac, you should follow the steps in this article -

How do I back up documents that are stored in iCloud to my own hard drive?

The trouble is, however I search for an answer to this question, I get instructions on how to back up stuff TO iCloud.
I want to back up stuff that applications like Pages and Numbers are already storing IN iCloud.
See, I don't want to have to trust iCloud to safely store my documents. Not unless there are copies somewhere that I can fall back on if (it's really only a matter of when) something goes fatally haywire in iCloud.
It's easy enough to do with a service like, say, Dropbox, which treats my "cloud-stored" files like they are in a folder on my hard-drive. So when I run either a local (Time Machine/Capsule) or a cloud (Crashplan, in my case) backup, those files get backed up. So I have at least three copies of those files - in Dropbox, on my Time Capsule, and on Crashplan's servers.
So how do I do that with docs that are stored in iCloud? Apple wants me to store stuff in iCloud - if I have iCloud enabled and want to save a doc to another destination, there are multiple steps I want to go through. And I'm fine with using iCloud if I'm creating documents that I want to be able to access from my iOS devices as well.
Yes, I can do that with Dropbox, but it's less seamless than doing it through iCloud.
But I want my own backups of those files, and near as I can tell, Apple makes that nearly impossible because iCloud does not show up anywhere as a folder that I can access or sort.
Or does it? Am I missing something?
If so, let me know.... if not... is there a solution to this dilemma, or is it just one more aspect of iCloud that Apple has not clearly thought through?
Thanks,
--PS

Right. You didn't read the post, you only read the title.
The title came from an earlier step in the process when I was posing a question to the systen.
The pertinent part of the question is "How to I back up documents that are stored in iCloud"
That the destination for the backup is NOT my internal HDD should be clear from the rest of the post.
And frankly, even if that is where I want to back up to, that would at least give me two copies, at least giving me one duplicate of the stuff on iCloud.
So please stop wasting my time if you can't answer the actual question: How do I backup content that is stored in iCloud. The destination of the backup is irrelevant.

If you want to see what is in a file that is backed up by time machine then you have to restore the entire file. Having said that I have had good experience with Time Machine and individual files... if the file is there then all of it's components are almost for sure there. A way to get around this in Aperture would be to use referenced images. The images then still exist as individual files and can be backed up and restored individually. You would have to do so on a file by file basis though and your album information would still only be saved within the Aperture library.

How do I find my photos that are stored in iphoto on my mac?

How do I find my photos that are stored in iphoto on my mac? I don't want to access them through iphoto, I want to access them individually. I have always done it previously through searching for the img number. But it no longer works!

That's half-correct. Direct access is supported.
Find the photo in iPhoto, then go to the "File" menu and click "Reveal in Finder" - it takes you directly to the image file. Or right-click on the photo, and choose "Edit in External Editor" which opens the original file in other software, like Photoshop, if you have it.
And it's dangerous to move, rename or delete the original file or folders after you found it, but safe to do other things.

Do I need to have iWork on my iOS device in order to view files that are stored in iCloud Drive?

I was hoping that iCloud Drive would allow us to view files on our iPhones or iPads without having Pages, Numbers, or even Word, Excel, etc... When I did the update to iOS 8 I found that there was no separate app for iCloud Drive, thus no way to simply view files stored on iCloud Drive. I understand not being able to edit the files without having iWork or Office programs installed. Does anyone know if we will have this capability or if I'm just missing it? If this option isn't going to be provided to us, I'll be forced to continue to use Dropbox to view files on iOS devices (even though we can't view iWork files on iOS Dropbox anymore...)

To elaborate on my question, this is what I was expecting. The iPad and iPhone in this picture looks as though there is a place on iOS where you can see all of the files that are located in iCloud Drive. You can also see that each file has an associated tag (the colored dots) which we were able to start using on Mavericks. I understand that the Mac you see in the picture has iCloud Drive as a native(ish) drive on the computer which will be available with Yosemite, but I don't understand where on the iPhone/iPad these shots were taken from, assuming it's iOS 8.0
On the up side, I just received my iPhone 6 today to find that iPhone6 and 6+ users are given Pages, Numbers, and Keynote free for their iOS devices.

How to backup the files that are into the Time Capsule HD? is it possible?

Hi my question is not so simple...I think
I'm using a TC only as a router and a network HD
and I saved on it all my movies, tv shows and also my itunes library and iphoto library to share all this stuff also to my mac mini which is connected to my Plasma tv.
I wanna know if is it possible to backup with time machine the TC hard disk
because I don't know how to tell to time machine to backup not my macs but my TC.
I read this article that explain How to enable Time Machine on unsupported volumes
http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/how-to-enable-time-machine-on-unsupported-vol umes/
You think that if I activate this option Time Machine can read from TC and make a backup of it?

No, sorry, Time Machine cannot back up a network drive.
You can copy ("archive") everything on the TC's internal HD to a USB drive connected to it, per the green box in #Q6 Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. That's probably the simplest and easiest way, but it's also likely the slowest.
Or, see Kappy's post on Basic Backup, complete with links to the web sites of each product. I've also heard that Chronosync may work for this purpose.

How do I unlock numbers files that are in my public shared folder?

Hello all,
I've been trying to access a file on my wife's shared folder and she's added me to the sharing and permission list on the file and on the server.
Can someone please give me a hint on how to unlock this file so we can use the versions feature of "numbers"?
Thanks in advance.
~madamal

As far as I know, the versions feature is not shared on networks.
The datas are stored locally.
Assuming that you boot from the HD named "madamal's HD", the versions datas are stored in the folder :
"madamal's HD:.DocumentRevisions-V100", not on the network.
The period at the beginning of the folder's name is used to hide it.
Trying to share an iWork generated document thru a network is playing with matches.
The iWork apps aren't designed for that.
If your wife work on a document when you are also working on it, there is no provision to arbitrate between the changes introduced by the two users. Very efficient way to destroy the document.

Some files that were transfered from and older mac are labeled "Unix Executable File." How do I resd these files?

There is a terminal command called file which will give you a hint of what the file is.
/Appliactions/Utilities/Terminal
me ~$ file pki
pki: directory
me ~$ file pulse-cookie
pulse-cookie: data
type file space drag & drop the file onto the terminal, press return.
