Re: time capsule and Time Machine

[Scott Howell]

Tim, just wanted to give you an update on what I accomplished. First  
it seems the account configuration is really only useful for backing  
up certain users on one machine or so I have been told. The best way  
to protect the data is simply use parental controls and prevent anyone  
from accessing the keychain application. This way you can use a disk  
password. It would seem however as far as I can tell, that while Time  
Machine is doing its thing, if the drive is mounted, the only thing  
anyone can see is the contents of the machine they are on. In other  
words if CrackerJack Mac is connected, then all you have access to is  
the data for that machine. Now this works since we all have different  
machines on the network, but if it were a multiple user situation,  
this wouldn't work as well for me. I'm still not sure I completely  
understand how this all works, but I anticipate Apple will enhance the  
AirPort utility and abilities of the Time Capsule. Customers will  
likely want some of these capabilities and if so, they'll find their  
way into the software.
Thanks for your help.
