It comes into it in order to get 802.11n and gigabit ethernet.
OK. So you're accessing you TM via network then?
Are you using it for other machines, otherwise I can't see a reason for
this.
the whole idea of using TM is to let it roll off older backups as
they get older.
That's not the idea behind TM; it's TM's way of handling filled-up
backup disks.
Indeed, badly put by myself I guess. I meant that TMs process involved
backing up as much as it can, and then rolling off the oldest stuff as
the drive fills up. TM is not a permanent and secure 'backup', it's a
safety net if anything, you should still be considering other ways to
backup data as well.
It's probably not a lot better than using a mirrored RAID in same ways,
as it will still store files that may have been corrupted by an error in
the drive structure, or similar. The only benefit you get is being able
to go back further to retrieve files you might have deleted
accidentally.
