1: when you manually drag data to a time capsule, time capsule cannot show you the size of any folder and its contents. whether in list view or using get info ?
apples forums have the usual moronic reply with some wankknuckle fanboy who claimed he answered and closed the post, by trying to claim folders take up 0 space on a time capsule which is why time capsule doesnt show the size of them ? well not if they contain stuff they dont ? and even an empty folder on a hard drive will take up a small amount of HD space, christ why do apple desire to propogate moronic no scientific rubbish information so they dont have to answer for a weakness in their design
2: over wifi they’re pretty much useless, too slow to backup the volume of data their volume size represents. even when hooked up directly, as nas backup whether by ethernet or wifi their probably bottom of the wrung on transfer speeds.
3: time machine only uses an exclude list for what to backup so by default backs up everything, and does not offer the opposite control ie an include list, meaning it backs your entire system and every associated system change. wasteful of space.
4: the volume imaging format it uses for time machine backups, doesnt seem very wise or accessible to the average user.
5: no control over time based archiving of data. ie how far back the changes go and their copies go, its all too automatic.
6: no scheduling of when backups occurr or at what frequency ?
