Backup from Mac to TC - tmutil

Start with Pondini's guide.

Does the Time Capsule show up in System preferences/Time Capsule?

It's much easier to do via the Time Machine Preferences window -- just click Select Disk and select your Time Capsule's internal HD.

To do it via tmutil, you need to change the argument a bit: after "afp://" you need the literal word "user:" followed by the password.

And, while you can use the TC's address, you could just use the name.

After executing the command, do tmutil destinationinfo to see if it "took." Or look on the Preferences window.

Also note that if you want multiple destinations, you must use the -a option to add the destination instead of replacing it.

Here's an example, for a partition on a USB drive connected to my Time Capsule:

If that's hard to see, control-click (right-click) the image and select Open link in new window.

Great! Glad it's sorted out.

And thanks for the feedback.
