Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.189.244.82 ( talk) 16:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC) With current updates, NAS is supported via AFP and SMB. So, can users also transfer files to/from this device like with a regular NAS? Evanturner ( talk) 07:11, 17 January 2008 (UTC) The current Airport Extreme N allows you to plug in USB disks, and I would imagine the new Time Capsule will work the same way, except with an internal disk.- Danbrice ( talk) 21:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC) According to the Apple website, you can: ' And they can back up wirelessly to the same Time Capsule.'- MrHefnner ( talk) 15:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC) According to it does not support NAS. I don't know enough about the Airport Extreme, but I believe it exposes the drive as an AFS and Samba share, so if your operating system can connect to either of those, then you should be able to use it to backup with your own back up software.- Danbrice ( talk) 21:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC) Regular NAS? The current Airport Extreme N allows you to plug in USB disks, and I would imagine the new Time Capsule will work the same way, except with an internal disk. Until Time Capsule, Time machine has been disabled from writing to any network disks, so it's likely they've enabled that feature now - who knows if it's only going to be for time capsule or for any network attached disk. What protocol does the device use for backup? Will we see other platforms (e.g., Linux) supporting it? -Ben FrantzDale ( talk) 01:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC) As far as I know, Time machine just writes to a disk like any other app.
