Hi: I am having issues with a three-year-old time capsule. I may be able to resolve them (still working on it, and details are below if anyone has any suggestions), but if not, I will buy a new time capsule.
If I get a new Time Capsule, I'll need to move all the data over. There are time machine backups and other stored data on the old time capsule. Obviously, I can connect both to the network and either do a finder copy operation (which will take forever and has lots of opportunity for failure), or use SuperDuper to run a "backup" which will essentially copy the data. But running it over ethernet from time capsule to Mac to time capsule is slow and double the effort needed. Is there a way to copy the data from one time capsule to another (both on internal drives - no external drives connected or ever used on this time capsule) directly, or at least more quickly? Any help, advice or direction is appreciated! Jeff Tech details: iMac Mid-2006 (don't laugh), OS/X 10.6.8, Time Capsule 2TB, Firmware Version 7.6.1 Other issue details as promised: I cannot update the time capsule (even using the other, newer Mac on the network, running 10.7.4 and Airport Utility 6.1). I have tried to change some settings and restart, and I get the message "An Error Occurred while updating the configuration" with the only option being "OK." This happens even if I update nothing and just tell airport utility just to restart the base station. Unplugging and then reconnecting the time capsule does not fix it. I don't know why, but I suspect some disk issues (I've had some copy failures copying files to the time capsule, but not from), so I am considering replacing it unless I have another solution. Ideas are welcome and appreciated! Thanks!_______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
