What is an AirPort Time Capsule?
Do you ever wish that you never have to think about backing up your data? Because everyone is becoming so time poor we want to simplify everything and put things on auto pilot.
In our business unfortunately we hear ‘oh I meant to do a backup I just never started it’ or ‘I didn't even think I needed to’ a lot.
If you have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook or iMac the Apple AirPort Time Capsule is your answer.
So what is an Apple AirPoirt Time Capsule? Well it is a wireless router with built in back-up software and storage space. This device will work in tandem with your Time Machine software on your Mac devices. The AirPort Time Capsule comes in two sizes, 2TB or 3TB storage available. Your AirPort will ensure that you connect to the best available band for the fastest wireless connection possible so that your back-up’s happen at the quickest speeds. It also has a built-in firewall that will help protect your home network from any malicious internet attacks. At only 168MM high and 98mm wide the time capsule can be stored in the smallest of spaces.
So imagine this: You come home from work on Friday and have a big weekend planned with the children. The weekend comes and goes (they never last!) and you have precious photo memories on your iPhone, iPad or MacBook. Simply leave your device on and the AirPort Time capsule will wirelessly sync and do a backup of your most recent files onto the previous backup that you have stored.
Simple right? Distracting? NO! Easy? YES!
When you first set up your AirPort Time Capsule you will be asked if you want to set a backup day and time. Once this has been set anything that is set to connect to the AirPort, will then back-up at that time on that day! It is important to remember to set it for a time that the devices selected are within your home wifi network. Your first back-up will take the longest as it needs to up upload your files, once they are in then subsequent back-ups will be incremental.
So if you have been making excuses about backing up your data and have Apple devices. Why not think about installing an AirPort Time Capsule in your home? Never run the risk of losing those precious photo’s again.
