Backup from one Time Capsual to a second Time Capsula - is that possible?

[dumpfbacke]

Hello,



I would like to regularly back up the data from a Time Capsule to a second Time Capsule.



You can save the data on a plugged-in USB disk, but there are hardly any other options, or is that hidden somewhere?

closest you can do is mount both via afp/smb then have something like carbon copy cloner clone (i.e. rsync) from one to the other.

Sorry, I was on holidays and I got this week a larger HDD for the backup.
So i will change the hard drive this weekend and then I can try.

If you only want to have Time Machine backups then you don't necessarily need to back up your existing drive. You can configure your Mac to back up to more than one place. It will alternate backups to the different drives. Each backup drive will operate independently of the others. But since they are backing up your data, ultimately they will contain the same information.

Yes, but I use one Time Capsule as Network disk and the other Time Capsule to make a backup from the Network disk.

(Because of working with different Macs, and places there are no files stored on my Macs)
