Time Capsule is a revolutionary backup appliance that can automatically back up everything on your Mac—wirelessly.

It works with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard to give you constant, behind-the-scenes protection.

It lets you easily share your broadband Internet connection, printer, hard drive, and more. 

You can even set up a separate Wi-Fi network for your guests.

2 Based on a comparison with Apple’s previous-generation 802.11n products. Comparison assumes AirPort Extreme network with 802.11n-enabled computer. Accessing the wireless network requires an AirPort- or AirPort Extreme– enabled computer or other Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a/b/g/n- enabled computer. Actual performance will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions.

3 Testing conducted by Apple in October 2009 comparing preproduction Time Capsule (Late 2009) with shipping Time Capsule (Early 2009) units. Testing was conducted on preproduction 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo–based iMac (Late 2009) systems. Performance will vary based on system configuration, network, file sizes, data sets, wireless interference, and other factors. Performance tests are conducted using specific systems and reflect the approximate performance of Time Capsule.
