I bought a new airport time capsule 3tb to be used to save to file all my pictures. Can I use it as network client and the airport express as the
Primary base station?
Airport Time capsule-OTHER
Yes, as long as I hope you intend to use it by ethernet not wireless.. as soon as you setup wireless on double hop you slow things down no end.
Things would be much better if you could make the Time Capsule the primary base station and use the AirPort Express to extend the network.
The primary function of a Time Capsule is to serve as a drive for backups. Keep your "originals" on another drive that is connected to your Mac using USB or FireWire.
Use the Time Capsule to backup both your Mac and the other hard drive.
To my opinion this looks a bit like what I'm looking for.
At the moment I have an Imac that is wireless connected to a 2TB time capsule (TC1).
To this time capsule I have another 2TB time capsule (TC2) connected via a upt wire connection.
At the moment there is a backup made via time machine from the Imac to the time capsule TC1 (the second TC is not used)
I'm not so technical so I hope you understand the configuration.
What do I want to achieve :
copy all my data from the Imac to TC1 so that the information can be accessed by more users.
create an automatic backup from TC1 to TC2 (mirror or raid system) for security.
give access to some users on the network to access TC1 to read and write data.
TC2 only serves as backup from TC1 and no direct access is needed to this disk.
If there is a solution, thanks for explaining it in 'IT kindergarden style' so that I can understand and use the info.
Many thanks in advance.
Can I just use my airport express as the primary base station and the time capsule as the network client?
