Okay. Thanks for your answer. Last question: How do you restore a
backup? I played around with Time machine yesterday, and I found a
restore feature in Disc Utility, but it seems as that restore feature
does only work with some special filetypes. I tried to open the Time
machine application, but it looks weird. It doesn't seems to be very
accessible with VO. Do I really need the installation cd to restore a
Time machine backup? I can't find anything in the Time machine
preferences...
Best regards

Nope, they aren't any different. I'm not sure what you mean by
Apple's external verses any other external. Apple doesn't make
drives themselves. They sell the Lacie (incorrect spelling, but
sounds that way) which apparently are very good drives. Apple tends
to sell products as accessories that have done well. So, you aren't
limited to any particular drive. It's been a good while, but if you
get a new drive, you may wish to partition and/or format for Mac OS
as I don't recall, but believe most drives come formatted for
windows. Of course don't quote me because my mind is a terribly
wasted thing.
Oh of course I nearly forgot to answer your question. If you mean is
the drive in my Time Capsule called Time Capsule, no, it is referred
to by the name of the router. My router might be called remote-
world1 and that is what the disk in the router is called. As far as
do you have to name an external Time Capsule for purposes of backing
up with Time Machine etc. no. Hope that answers your questions and
if you have others, just ask away.

Is your external harddisc called time capsule? Are there any
differences between a normal external harddisc and external Apple
harddisc? I've find other external harddiscs much cheeper than
Apples external harddiscs.
