Build Your Own Time Capsule Work-Alike For $200

Posted by timothy on from the stash-stuff-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes "If you're a Windows or Linux user, or simply an Apple user that can't justify the $500 price tag on those beautiful 3TB Time Capsules, why not build your own? With a wireless router, an external USB hard drive, and a little bit of setting up, you can make your own wireless, network-attached backup device for around $200."

  1. Foolproof my arse! by Chas · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sorry, but I always laugh when people describe anything as "foolproof". (In this case the meshing of Time Machine and the Time Capsule.

    All it does is show a PROFOUND underestimation of the creativity and destructive potential of fools.
