Well actually, in a way only one is. The other two are backups, one I just purchased so I can locate it off-sight. The other 6 are various backups of my computer and other computers. Apple has made it SO simple now. You just plug in a drive and it asks if you want to use it for backups... you say 'yes' and it does the rest for you. Leave it plugged in, do it once a week, whatever. I just had two laptops stolen a few months back (right before the new laptops were released) and I happened to have started using backups only 6 months before. When I got the new laptops, just plugged those HDs in and a few hours later it was like I was back on my old machine. My wife had not been as diligent in keeping up with her backup, but she does it much more frequently now.

You don't even need a Time Capsule. I run Time Machine to a WD MyBook and it works great. I'm an Apple fan for sure. You don't even need a Time Capsule.

Maybe they can't fix the hard drives but they create good software to back it up. I do have to air on Apple's side though. Glad they got you up and running!
