time capsule

I just bought a new time capsule 802. I have set it up already as a base. We wanted to have all our files and libraries transferred from our old capsule to the new one, and was of the understanding that this would happen automatically when we connected the old capsule to the new one. Our new capsule is completely empty, and we are afraid to do anything dont wanna risk having files and libraries deleted. Got all our photos, music etc on the old one.

Sorry, but whoever gave you that advice was misleading you.


Are these "files" only Time Machine backups or other files if you used the Time Capsule for file storage purposes only? ... or are they a combination of both?
