Will Time Capsule be able to make a bootable clone?

If you use something like CCC, will it be possible to make a bootable clone of one's OS and get it up and running with Time Capsule?

macrumors.com noted that wireless network boots may be possible with 10.5.2. So in theory this could be possible. For now I would suggest using CCC + Time Machine. CCC for your bootable backups, and Time Machine for your everyday file backups.

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device. But I have a Conceptronic router.
1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
3. Can I create a network and how?
4. What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical. Any help / advice will be much appreciated.

The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router. I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

HT1175 will time capsule backup programs?

Will Time Capsule backup Programs?

Great! That answers one question. Some of the "programs" are Mac and some are Windows but they are all in the Applications folder on my computer so I guess it will back them up.
Next question...I'm asking this because Apple is giving me a new hard drive because they have determined that my Seagate HD may have some issues so mine is being included in a voluntary fix. I am performing a full backup and hope (and assume) that once I get the new HD installed, I will just be able to update my computer form the backup on the external HD and that my computer will be back to normal. Is that right? OR, am I also going to have to reinstall all those programs on my new HD?

Will time capsule support 802.11 ac?

will time capsule support 802.11 ac?

is it possible to for time capsule to be up-dated to the 802.11 ac format? I hear this is the latest and greatest. Or is time capsule fixed with what it already has.
IF....Apple decides to incorporate the (still under development) ac format......they will not tell us anything about this until they actually announce the new product.
IF....they do, it would be extremely unlikely that any current versions of the Time Capsule could be "updated". As Kappy notes, we are talking about proposed hardware changes here....not just software or firmware.
For example, when Apple moved to simultaneous dual band Time Capsules a few years ago, it was not possible to update or upgrade existing Time Capsules at all.
Even among the recent 3rd and 4th generation Time Capsules.....you cannot change or update a 3rd generation Time Capsule to make it a 4th Generation Time Capsule.
You would be wise to conclude that this would also be the case for any future product.

Will time capsule bacukup windows partition?

Will Time Capsule backup the whole disk to include any Windows software installed via Boot Camp?

You may be able to use the WinClone app to back up the BootCamp partition. I don't do Windoze, though, so there may be other apps as well.
If you decide to do that, your best bet may be to limit the size of the TM backups, or create a disk image on the Time Capsule, to "reserve" enough space on it for the BootCamp backups, as mixing Time Machine backups and other data on the TC's internal HD can cause conflicts. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.

Will time capsule back up an external hard drive

Will time capsule back up an external hard drive?

Time Machine will backup the drive to the Time Capsule if it is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and it is connected directly to your Mac by USB or FireWire....and it is not "excluded" from backups in Time Machine Options.

I have OS X 10.6.8 and want to get a backup device such as time capsule. Will time capsule recognise my OS version?

Will the latest time capsule be the most suitable device for backup from my desktop OS X 10.6.8. Will Time Capsule connect with Snow Leopard?

As The hatter says, a directly-connected external HD (USB or FireWire) is the fastest and most reliable way to back up a desktop Mac.
A Time Capsule will work, of course, but is mainly intended for wireless backups of laptops.
You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

Will time capsule also back up external hard drives?

will time capsule also back up external hard drives?

Yes. If you're using Time Machine, open its preferences and ensure the drives aren't excluded; Time Machine can't back up drives in some formats, such as FAT32.

Will time capsule backup file on pc partion

will time capsule backup files on pc partion

Not using Time Machine, which will only backup a Mac.
You could manually copy the files over to the Time Capsule disk....or better yet, use a PC application like Genie Timeline Pro to set this up automatically.

Will Time Capsule back up IPhone/IPad?
The iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your Mac. Then, when your Mac backs up to the Time Capsule, the iOS backups are copied over as well.
Or
The iPhone and iPad can backup to iCloud
The iPhone and iPad cannot backup directly to the Time Capsule. See this Apple Support document for more details on backups.

Will Time Capsule support a fibre optic internet signal via a modem?

Will Time Capsule support a fibre optic internet signal via a modem?

Thanks, really appreciate the prompt response. Have you also been "forced" by the installation of Mountain Lion to use the TC as your principal network router? If so, does this reduce the performance of your network at all?

Will time capsule backup my pc?

Will Time Capsule backup my pc? Do I need a separate external hard drive and genie pro?

Time capsule is a router with a hard disk inside. .it offers SMB access.
There is no backup software in the TC.. it is Time Machine in the Mac that does the work.
For PC you can use any backup package you like that can deal with network drive.. vast majority do so.. even the crappy windows one.
But the warning is there when you mix TM and data on a mixed network you can get into trouble from the TM side.. the file storage from PC is fine.

Will Time Capsule be updated/refreshed to work with iCloud?

In other words, will Time Capsule be released with built-in iCloud connectivity? For that matter, AirPort Extreme w/ an external drive attached?

If you re-check the Terms of Use Agreement for this support area, you will find that this is a community support area of users, just like you.
None of us will know what a notoriously secretive company like Apple might be planning in the future.

We have 3 macs and one pc in our house. will time capsule work for backup?

we have 3 macs and one pc. will time capsule be suitable

If you intend to backup automatically using Time Machine, the Time Capsule will work just fine with your Macs if they are running the Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion operating systems..
But Time Machine does not exist for PCs, so you will need to look around for a similar application for Windows. I haven't used it, but a neighbor of mine who has both Macs and PCs reports that he has had good luck with Genie Timeline.
A Google search will provide links for the application if you are interested.
