Hi Ronni I back up to a 2TB Time Capsule in extension(?) mode, my household wireless network includes an Airport Express as the main access to the modem, Airport Extreme - in 'extension mode' - for other external HD storage - movies/tv, and MacMini for the TV.
After updating to Mavericks TimeMachine wouldn't backup, it acknowledged the data disk but timed out when backing up. Apple Support Community had this listed as an issue, so I thought I would mention it incase other members had this backup issue. After turning the entire network off it self sorted, found the data disk and of it went merrily backing up, with the oldest back acknowledge as 22 Dec 2012 - so all is good. One improvement I have noticed in Mavericks is when my MBP wakes after opening lid or button tap the password accepts the first character instead of highlighting it blue and erasing it as the second character is entered! so, no double entering in the first character very time.

My post was about the Time Capsule / Time Machine backup not showing on the Desktop when Time Machine is backing up. Do you use Time Machine to backup to a Time Capsule Data Disk... Or do you use Time Machine to backup to an external drive attached to your MBP?
