Help with Time Capsule
Ok, so yesterday I bought Leopard and Time Capsule.
Last night at about 11 PM I started my initial backup of my hard drive. I had read that the first time could take a looong time so I was prepared to wait. 24 hours later, I am sitting here extremely frustrated.
I had, quite literally, 2 GB to go before the initial backup was done. All of a sudden, no reason at all, the status light on Time Capsule went from green to flashing amber. The backup automatically quit.
I opened Airport Utility, and it could not detect my Time Capsule. So I unplugged, plugged back in, and the green light came back on. Everything was fine. I opened up Time Machine and initiated a backup to see if it had stored all of my files. Well, sure enough, it says that I had used up the same amount of GB on my hard drive as on the Time Capsule (minus the 2 GB of course). Yet, the backup is re-doing every file and is going the same speed it was all day.
Did I miss something with how these backups work - does anyone know what happened? Thank you.

Apple has also released an update for TC just this past week for "bug fixes" so make sure you do that before anything
