[OSX-Users] Re: backing up while on road away from time capsule

[Chris Andrews]

To my knowledge, there is no elegant way of moving between a Time Capsule and an external drive - for one thing, the TC backup is as a sparse-bundled disk image where the drive backup is straight onto a HFS+ volume. Probably best solution is just to back up important stuff manually to memory sticks.
