How to turn Time capsule into an extender and keep backup function...

I've a Time Capsule(tall version). I replaced it as a router, and would like to use it as an extender and keep it for backups as well. How do I configure it?

I just reset it to default, so this would be like an initial set up for bridge or whatever I suppose...
