Apple Heralds A New Kind Of 'Time Capsule'

(andPOP) - Macworld is definitely the place to be to both witness, and contribute to, all Apple-related, cutting-edge inventiveness. And Apple wouldn't be a very good host if it let its guests do all the work, which is why it opened its Mac-bazaar by introducing Time Capsule, a backup appliance that automatically and wirelessly backs up everything on one or more Macs running Leopard, Apple's latest operating system release.

Built to work seamlessly with the Time Machine automatic backup software, Time Capsule lets users wirelessly back up all of the data on their Macs, find lost files and even restore all of their software. In the event a file is lost, users can wirelessly search back through time to find deleted files, applications, photos and other digital media and then instantly restore the file.

Doubling as a full-featured Wi-Fi base station with the latest 802.11n technology, Time Capsule comes in two models, a 500-gigabyte model for US$299 and a whopping 1-terabyte model for just US$499, and will be available in February through the Apple Store, at Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers.
