Windows 7 now backing up to Apple Time Capsule
Wow, there are LOTS of drawn out threads on this. I was very lucky to find this one...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11302436#11302436
After first setting up Time Capsule on my Macs and running Time Machine on those; I installed Airport Utility on Yolanda's Acer Laptop (5741) and it easily saw the Time Capsule NAS device.
Looking for backup options for Windows I came across SyncToy by Microsoft so installed that - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=c26efa36-98e0-4ee9-a7c5-98d0592d8c52&displaylang=en#Instructions
And then I read how to use 'Task Scheduler' to auto run SyncToy, here... http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/25046/schedule-synctoy-to-run-automatically-with-task-scheduler-in-windows-7/
Quite a lot of surfing discussion lists but actually quite a simple result! Nice.
