Performance of Time Capsule with Crashplan and FileVault 2

Hello!
I am a current user of Crashplan with my Macbook Pro running FileVault 2. I am considering adding a Time Capsule as a secondary level of backup using Time Machine.
Has anyone else run this setup? With Crashplan, Time Machine, and FileVault 2 all running on a single system? Would there be a significant decrease in performance on a Macbook?

I am doing something sort of like that. I have File Vault 2 on, Mozy online backup, and Time Machine running and creating local snapshots on my internal drive until I periodically attach an external drive. This is on a 2011 MacBook Air and I don't notice any performance issues.

How to setup apple time capsule with FIOSinternet and VZ router?)

Hello,
I have Apple time capsule and the VZ Router MI424WR. I current set up:
1. VZ router - wireless off, the rest is standard
2. Time capsule: Wireless on in Bridge mode
Result: Internet works but the wireless network is very in-stable. Airtunes is nearly not usable.
I searched in the Internet and there was several comments that is is not a good combination. Therefore it is recommended to convert the VZ router in a modem mode and use only the Time capsule as the router. I tried this several times I do not get it to work. I followed this procedure (http://data.agaric.com/node/2160) but then I need the PPPoE Account number and password. But there do I get this? The Verizon support was not really helpful.
Please, is there a good and complete description to solve that issue?
Thanks in advance

Go back to your first setup ...
Verizon router with wireless turned off
Apple Time Casule with wireless turned on
Method 1:
With the Time Capsule in "Bridge Mode", if I remember correctly, you should connect the WAN port to one of the open ports on the Verizon router (I believe bridge mode also turns off the DHCP server on the Time Capsule, if not, find that and turn if off as well).   Change the addressing mode for the Time Capsule to "static" and assign it an address on the LAN which is not in use (choose something you know is out of the way but on the LAN -- I suggest 192.168.1.180 to start -- you can change it once you get everything working).
If it doesn't work this way for you, move the cable from the WAN port on the Time Capsule to Port 1 and try again.
Method 2:
This results in a router behind a router setup, but unless you have devices connected directly to the Verizon router, it shouldn't be a problem.
With the Time Capsule disconnected from the Verizon router, turn on "Connection Sharing" (not bridge mode) and make sure DHCP is enabled on the Time Capsule. You need to change the address range being used by the Time Capsule (which I think defaults to 192.168.1.x to another network -- I suggest, 192.168.2.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and give the router an address of 192.168.2.1 on the LAN side. Now, connection the WAN port to one of the Verizon router LAN ports. If you had anything connected to the Verizon LAN ports, move those over to the LAN ports on the Time Capsule and reboot them.
Method 3:
This is the least desirable of the scenarios because it relies on Verizon's crappy radio in their router (the Time Capsule has a much better radio and support 802.11n as well as b and g) whereas Verizon's only support b/g.    Go back to the configuration for Method 1, but also turn OFF wireless on the Time Capsule and turn on wireless on the Verizon router.   Try both bridge scenarios described -- using the WAN port first and if that didn't work, then moving the connection to port 1.
There is no scenario where you can place the Verizon router behind the Time Capsule -- since I believe Verizon is using all MoCA connections for the WAN side of their connection (you'd have to get Verizon to convert you to ethernet WAN and then they would not support you most likely for any STB issues with your FiOS if the Time Capsule was between the ONT and their router ... so don't even bother wasting time there ... more headaches than it would be worth.
If you're still not sure exactly what each configuration screen on the time capsule should say, post some screen snaps (or the configuration settings/choices which you are unsure about and someone will likely know the answer here).

Time Capsule with Rescue and Recovery v4

I am unable to backup my Thinkpad X300 on to Time Capsule using Rescue and Recovery v4. Other Windows XP applications can see the Time Capsule just fine.
I have added the Time Capsule to the Windows workgroup also, and use Rescue and Recovery on the XP machine to select the Time Capsule as the backup location. The Rescue and Recovery always fails at the beginning saying "The backup was cancelled".
Please help!!

ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery v4.2 is available to enterprises at this moment only, you can buy it from IBM parts for $75 + state tax + shipping though.

Time Capsule with MacBook and PC

How can I use my Time Capsule with my Macbook Time Machine for auto backups and use it with my PCs as an external hard drive? I have I originally had it set up with my PCs originally. I have now erased the hard drive and hooked it up with my Mac (and am using Time Machine to back up my computer), but which partition setting do I use so I can use the other partition for windows operating system?

@ pondini:
given your last idea (namely to "connect a self-powered USB drive to the TC") would be the most appropriate:
Time machine on the mac would back-up to the TC, the Windows-based computer would back-up to the USB-drive. That self-powered USB-drive, in turn, is connected to the TC.
My questions:
That USB HD needs to be formatted in MS-DOS (FAT)?
Can the Mac still use space on the USB-drive for other data?
Is this just a matter of partitions?
Would all partitions on that USB-drive need to be MS-DOS (FAT)?
Thanx for answers!

Printer error using Time Capsule with Vista64 and HP printe. Any one else?

I'm running Time Capsule with my MacBook and Vista 64 PC, and trying to print on a HP5510 All-in-one.
The Time Capsule is set up according to the manual and I can print wirelessly from the MacBook. Also, the MacBook and the PC can both access the TC HD.
The problem comes when I'm trying to print with the PC. It will print about 3/4 of the page and stop, showing an error. At that point, I cannot purge/cancel/restart the print job. I need to shut down the PC and printer to get rid of the error.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
Ray

HT1178 Can you backup to same time Capsule with PC and Mac

How do I backup to same Time Capsule with both PC and Mac

- backup iMac to TC and hook up HD to USB port on TC to backup PC laptop
Hmmm not better IMHO.. as long as you disk image the TC.. and the amount of space you have far exceeds total usage on both computers.. For the TM backup on the Mac you want TC area to be at least 3x the used space on the drive.. leaving out VM or bootcamp partitions if you use them.
Plus enough space to back up the PC laptop a couple of times over.
USB hard drive is fairly slow.. but should be ok for backup over wireless.. just be aware you cannot unplug the USB drive and use it direct unless you format it FAT32 which is very poor format. So first backup is going to be slow.
- backup iMac directly to HD thru firewire and backup PC to HD hooked up to Airport Extreme
If you don't already have a TC then this is fine. Firewire local disk is much faster than network backup even over gigabit.
Any of your options would work ok.. doing disk image on the TC is most difficult to get working and limits the hard disk space. Balance out what you already own network wise with what you need.. there are plenty of routers now with USB ports that will deal directly with windows using NTFS.. if you end up using firewire local disk to the imac..

Time Capsule with Extreme and 3 Express

Hi, new to this. I just bought a Time Capsule, set it up to my router and ethernet to my iMac (works fine). Time Capsule to router with a manual configuration (fixed IP from ISP). I wanted to:
1- Get my old Extreme to connect wirelessly to my Network at a remote room. Then connect two more iMac's via ethernet to my Extreme.
2- Use my extremes to distribute my network through the house.
I've tried all possible combinations but keep failing at it. I don't know fi I should create a WDS, extend my network, share IP or distribute IP.
Can somebody please help me?

Hello coronelcb. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Since you will have a mix of 802.11n and 802.11g AirPort, you will not be able to extend the Time Capsule's (TC) "n" network wirelessly with the 802.11g AirPorts, but you could configure them in a WDS. Note; however, that for each base station in the WDS, the overall bandwidth of the wireless network will be halved ... so, with a total of 4 base stations, at best, you will get 54 Mbps/2x2x2 = 6.75 Mbps. Your actual throughput will be even less.
As as option, you could create a "Dual Band" network between one of the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBS), and then create a WDS between that AEBS and the other two. In a "Dual Band" network, the TC will provide a "n" network, and the AEBS will provide a separate "g" one. The AEBS would connect to the TC via Ethernet and configured as a bridge to allow the TC to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for the entire network.

Can i use time capsule with iphone

can i use time capsule with iphone and ipad and how can i access my data at anywhre using time capsule

TC is not designed for ipad or iphone or any iOS device.
You should use them with cloud if you want remote access to your data do it via cloud.. you cannot easily get remote access to the TC from iOS device.

Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

I have a Time Capsule with 2tb of storage, and an I-Mac with 500Gb. (which is at capacity) Can I use the Time Capsule to store data in addition to backing up the hard drive?

Can I use the Time Capsule to store data from my hard drive that I want to access later in addition to backing up the hard drive?
Yes, but if you move the "original" data on your iMac to the Time Capsule....then the "original" data is now on the Time Capsule disk.
When...not if...the Time Capsule disk has a problem, you have no backups for this data.
Perhaps a much safer plan might be to add an external hard drive attached directly to your iMac. Then, move the data to that drive from the iMac.
Now, Time Machine will back up both your iMac and the external hard drive so you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another. Would that plan work for you?

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

Apple TV and Time Capsule with 5ghz

Hi.
I have an Apple TV 3rd. generation and a Time Capsule with 2.4 / 5 ghz wifi capability.
I was wondering that if I connect the Apple TV using the 5ghz network I could improve the speed of download in particular to contents in mi iMac that is connected to the time capsule too.
Using the traditional wifi 2.4 ghz I can access my itunes network on the Apple TV.
But when I switch to the 5GHZ network, I can´t.
Why?
Any help please!
Regards, Edgardo

5 Ghz may help avoid interference, but it also has shorter range, it depends on the circumstances surrounding your location whether it's a better option or not.

Time Capsule with Backup unable to be connected to and restored

I have recently rebuilt my iMac to 10.6.8 - I was previously on the same OS but wanted a clean install.
My entire mac was backed up to a 3tb Time Capsule
Having rebuilt I would like to restore some data from the Time Capsule but the iMac is now refusing to see any data on the time capsule. When I manage the Time Capsule from Airport Utility I can see that there is about 1gb used. If I share the disc and allow connectivity I can even see the sparsebundle, but Time Machine and Migration Assistant do not see a valid Time Capsule with data that can be restored from.
I am not 100% that I have anything stored here that I can recover elsewhere. The key data was stored in multiple places as I never like to rely on 1 - however I would like to get to the bottom of this as I want some confidence in this for the future.
Any advice welcome.
Paul

The problem is that Migration Assistant doesn't recognise ANY backup partitions on the Time Capsule. I can see the Time Capsule drive and when I select them I have to provide a password but it fails to connect or fails to find a usable backup. But as I mentioned if I manually connect I can see the sparsebundle.
I'm quite happy to start again, but really want to recover some of the data on the drive. If I can't recover now under these circumstance (ie voluntary rebuild) I will have no confidence that the TC will be there when needed under an involuntary rebuild.
The machine has been rebuilt under exactly the same machine name and administrator names, although I guess these could both have unique identifiers.

How do I set up my time capsule with my PC and BT home hub

Hi, I really need help.
I have a new time machine I am having trouble setting up. I have a BT Home Hub that I have hard wired to the TC to the WAN port. I have Connected my PC to the Ethernet port. The PC will not find the TC.
I also need to Wi-Fi attach other laptop PCs to it.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP?
Ade.

You might have an IP collision ..
unplug the wan connection to the home hub..
Restart the Time Capsule with a single ethernet connection to a pc plugged into its LAN port.
Make sure the pc is getting an ip address. Open airport utility and see if you can now access the TC.. !
When you say PC do you mean windows machine?
Windows can have some issues accessing the TC.. especially if you have the windows computer on win7 running homegroup.. which is a wretched piece of incestous connection between win7 exclusively.

I am trying to back up on my new time capsule with my mac book pro. It's been 25 hours and only done 5.8gb of 129gb. any advice. Thanks

You can backup 2 computers as long as the TC has enough space.
Your access might be restricted if you set it up with users.. you must log in with the correct user to get access to the files.
Otherwise you should be able to see both sparsebundles just with finder.
Look at Pondini's excellent FAQ
this one in particular may help
