    Keep all my work-in-progress files on a combo of Dropbox and Add's cloud. (I can switch from my laptop to my desktop on-the-fly). My font's are synced through Suitcase fusion

    Have a 4TB drive hooked up to my Apple Extreme router for Time machine b/u's of all computers

    have 2x 4TB externals for archive and other working files not on Dropbox (one of the 4TB drive is set to mirror the other)

    • ADD's = Adobe Cloud. oopsGnash
    • the 2x 4TB drives are direct connected to my desktop. I wanted to get a NAS but was so much cheaper to get the 2 4TB drivesGnash
    • How are you backing up multiple computers to a single drive with Time Machine?mg33
    • Further... how are you doing that over AirPort Extreme? Would love some details.mg33
    • I have the external drive plugged into the extreme base station. The drive becomes available to the network via wifi.Gnash
    • You can have multiple TM b/u's on a driveGnash
    • it's slow the first time you b/u but after that you don't even notice (to TM i mean)Gnash
    • Cool, thank you! I just read something about it earlier today. Gives me options for wiping a 2TB backup drive and using it as a new external.mg33
