My intended goal is to use Time Capsule disk as cloud replacement for MobileMe iDisk which is being discontinued in June.
I've done Time Capsule 7.6.1 update with iCloud support, entered my iCloud account settings, and authorized disk access via WAN. Everything appears to be configured properly as I can access my Time Capsule disk on Mac computers from outside my home network. How do I access this disk on iPhone and iPad?
Just use GoodReader.
Then go to Local Servers (via Wifi) and click.
...easy.

You cannot access it AFAIK.. iphone and ipad even in the same network do not allow access without an App.. but the app only allows SMB (windows networking type) access.. not AFP. and remotely you can only use AFP.
I found an app called "File Browser" which looks like it can do it. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get it setup as their support page shows previous Time Capsule firmware. It shows how to access via port mapping or VPN but I'm sure there is a more efficient way now that Apple added iCloud support to Time capsule.
You cant backup, but you can access your media, even streaming with "Files Connect"

I use FileBrowser app. It works. Their latest version is much easier to configure than earlier versions. You need to turn file sharing on and SMB on your time capsule disk.
I use the time capsule disk to store a few files which I never want to be on my iPhone or iPad, but do want access to them. They are not backed up on the time capsule but since they also exist on my Mac, they are backed up from there.
Access Time Capsule disk from iOS device (iPad, iPhone)
