I strongly recommend that you invest $15 in the e-book "Take Control of Mac OS X Backups, Third Edition", at <http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/backup-macosx>. It covers Time Machine and Time Capsule, as well as Mac backups in general. Here is the table of contents:

The Table of Contents came from the sample that is available at the above web address. Check it out.
