Apple Announces Time Capsule
By Raju Shanbhag TMCnet Contributing Editor
Apple (News - Alert) has introduced Time Capsule, a backup appliance that automatically and wirelessly backs up everything on one or more Macs running Leopard, the latest release of Apple’s Mac OS X operating system including the amazing Time Machine automatic backup software. Combining an 802.11n base station with a server grade hard disk in one small package, the Time Capsule offers the benefits of a full-featured 802.11n Wi-Fi
base station. It comes in two models; 1 terabyte model for just $499 and a 500 gigabyte model for just $299.
Time Capsule features a sleek design with a built-in power supply and connections to print wirelessly to a USB printer. With Time Capsules, users can create a secure, wireless network for up to 50 users and set security restrictions such as Internet access limits for children’s computers.
With Time Capsule, users can find lost files, restore all of their software and wirelessly back up all of the data on their Macs. If a file is lost, users can try restoring the files by wirelessly searching through time to find deleted files, applications, photos and other digital media. If required, Leopard can also easily restore an entire system from the Time Machine backup on Time Capsule.
Steve Jobs (News - Alert), Apple’s CEO, said in a company press release: “Bring Time Capsule home, plug it in, click a few buttons on your Macs and voila—all the Macs in your house are being backed up automatically, every hour of every day. With Time Capsule and Time Machine, all your irreplaceable photos, movies and documents are automatically protected and incredibly easy to retrieve if they are ever lost.”
Witt Time Capsule, it will be easier for everyone to protect their digital files as it serves as a backup solution for multiple computers as well as the backbone for a high-speed, 802.11n wireless network. It delivers up to five times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g.
Time Capsule is priced at $299 for a 500GB model and $499 for a 1TB model. It comes with a fully integrated 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station.
