OK, good to know, thanks.
I think I can do wireless Time Machine backups to the net drive attached to the mini, right? Or is the wireless network the bottleneck and I need a direct ethernet connect to the mini? I should note that I do NOT use TM for the entire disk. I exclude Movies & Music as well as temporary things like Downloads and Trash and system files.
Here's my current approach: I bought a OWC drive that fits my laptop but with 2x the memory. Partitioned the disk. Use one partition for SD, the other for TM. But my preference for TM would be a net drive, for convenience. Schedule for reasonably often. Then using SD for full backup every week or so.
Make sense? Or is that also too slow?!
Alas, as an ex-Sun Micro engineer, I'm so used to completely networked systems (NFS, no local storage at all!) that I forget what the Real World is like!
