Time Machine Backup: Wireless v Ethernet v USB
Apple Community,
My home setup is as follows:
Modem connected to 3 TB Time Capsule.
Macbook Pro connected to Time Capsule using ethernet cable
External HDD connected to Time Capsule via USB
External HDD connected to Macbook via USB
I use my external HDD connected to my Macbook to store my photos, movies, and iTunes Library folder.
I then use Time Machine to backup my computer, as well as the external HDD connected to the macbook via the USB, using the Time Capsule as the backup destination. I also make a backup onto the external HDD connected to the Time Capsule via the aausb port
Is it possible to backup my files onto the Time Capsule by doing so through the Ethernet Cable, and then continue the rest via wireless backup, or will it always have to be done by using the ethernet connection once a backup was done using an ethernet cable.
I believe wireless backups and wired backups are incompatible, but is this not the case when comparing a wirless backup to that of a backup done via USB.
I hope this makes sense, and more so, that someone can provide me with a useful answer.
Thanks
ST
