Well i threw down the green backs for the airport time capsule 3tb. The best buy guys swore up and down that I could back up my ipad3 to it. I decided to err on the side of caution and read the manuals before breaking the celophane on the box. I cannot find any references to being able to back up anything other than mac pc's. Anyone tried it yet?

iOS devices like the iPhone, iPad and iPod back up to iTunes on your Mac or PC.....or.....to iCloud.
Then, if you back up your computer to the Time Capsule, everything is backed up, including the iOS backups stored as a part of iTunes.
it is not possible using Apple supported methods to back up an iOS device directly to the Time Capsule....or any other hard drive for that matter.

You might want to review this Apple support document with them. Maybe they know something that Apple does not?
