Time capsule time machine backup privacy
I thought I would have easily been able to find answers on this. Unfortunately after some searching, feel I still need to post.
I am thinking of buying a time-capsule for use in a home network with multiple macs and pc's. At least 2 mac users will use it for time machine backups.
How is privacy of time machine backups handled? I don't want want my backups browse-able/usable by others. For example are you required to enter a user password to browse or restore from another users time machine backups. We don't really want to go down the full filevault/encryption route we just want some average user privacy.
If there is password protection on time machine backups, can windows users accessing time capsule see time machine backups and bypass such security?
