Time Capsule question

[andyroberts]

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to use time capsule for both time machine backups and storing my itunes music folder on, will it degrade performance in any way?

Thanks

Andy

Oops sorry should have been in the hardware forum!

Yes, it is possible.

It shouldn't affect Time Machine performance, as long as you let it do the initial backup without too much going on in the background.

good that's what I wanted to hear, all I then need to do is plug in a usb drive to backup the iTunes library!!

Yup, don't forget you can have the iTunes library on the AirPort Extreme and just have aliases (shortcuts) on your Mac/Pcs to the files.

That way, the files are never on one computer, and can be shared by all
