Q: How to backup an external USB HDD onto an AirPort
Hi all,
Ok, I must admit I don't know much about Apple Macs, but am having to work on my boss's computer and need your help please.
So, he has one of the new Mac 27" 3.5GHz machines that flys and an old AirPort Base Station (I do not know which one but have asked him to let me know which one, but I know it isa 3Tb one). What I want to do is put a USB HDD on his Mac and tell iTunes to use that to store all his must as his 1Tb SSD is filling up with music that doesn't need to be on an SSD, So I have ordered him a 2TB USB 3 drive so that his music and movies can go onto that. I know that will work, BUT the question is will his AirPort be able to backup his Mac AND the USB HDD? If so, how would I do this?
Sorry to ask so much, but this is all new to me as I am not used to working on Macs, and want to keep him happy!
Thanks all for any help you can give.
