Lion will continue to do Time Machine backups to spare space on your
laptop's own hard disk while it's away from its Time Capsule.
Obviously this is no protection against disk failure, but it does
provide protection against accidental file deletion or corruption.<br>
<br>
Other than that, as other people say, copy important stuff
elsewhere, e.g. memory stick, tiny external hard disk (WD My
Passport disks are very good for this), cloud storage service, or
your ECS home filestore.<br>
<br>
(Why does everyone use Dropbox when we've had network file storage
for over 20 years?)<br>

<div>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.
