Ok, how can I go about doing this? When not backing up, I don't see
mytime capsule's drive anywhere, not on the desktop like any other
drive, or it doesn't appear to be in devices from what I can see.
there is an item in finder with the name of my time capsule though,
tried to open that, and couldn't.

Hmmm, what you may try first if you have not done so, is to delete
the sparse bundle which is the bundle with the name of your machine.
Try this and if that fails, I'd have to concur that reformatting
might be in order. I don't know how long you've had the unit, but
it's unlikely defective and there is no flaw in the software I'm
aware of and that's not to say there aren't flaws, but none that I
can recall causing this issue. I've been using my Time Capsule for a
while with good success. Btw, what you may wish to do is for the
first backup, plug your Mac into the TIme Capsule via cable. To
backup any significant data, especially for the initial backup, will
take an incredibly long time and could cause the backup to get
possibly hosed do to interference. Not again to say it would trash
the backup, it's just the probability goes up with such a large
backup.

Hi Scott, having an issue where Time machine is stuck on preparing
backup for the longest time. Was looking at some of the
discussion forums on the apple website,and they had suggested
reformatting the Time Capsule's drive, , and to do a totally fresh
backup, so that makes me wonder if it's a flaw in the Time Capsule,
or whether it's something to do with Time Machine?

Sorry, I must have missed the post. WHat problem are you having
with backing up to your Time Capsule. Yes, Superduper is a good
product and does give you full and daily backups.

Hi all, since I'm having that issue in backing up to a time
capsule which I posted about earlier, would it actually be better
to use SuperDuper? I've heard a lot of good things about it.
