Using Airport Extreme for TimeMachine

Seems to have been enabled (as reported by Macrumors)

Interesting - something else I did'nt know:

Do everything.

What if you’d like to exchange files over your wireless network and still have access to a wireless printer? Easy. Just connect a USB hub to AirPort Extreme and attach your devices to the hub. Share both a printer and a hard drive, multiple printers, multiple hard drives or a combination.

hmmm... must have!

Yup - you'll just need a USB hub

Got a few hubs lying around here - plus 4 usb drives ranging from 160gb to 320gb. This will be an easy fix for all those loose drives - all neatly on the network. Damn, I nearly got a NDAS drive last week but luckily decided against it. This will work sooo much better.

I didnt have the patience to do the initial backup - perhaps Sunday I'll use the ethernet rather than the wifi and see how that goes - wish it was gigabit though and not 100.

Would this work on an Airport Express? My express works fine, but if I need to go extreme for this feature than I might as well get the whole 1tb option while I'm at it...
