    You can setup the AirPort Time Capsule to work as a router using the iPhone or iPad, but you can only backup to the internal HD with Time Machine on a Mac, or drag & drop the files to the disk from a Windows Computer.

     

    The ipad and iPhone cannot directly back up to the AirPort Time Capsule Disk.
