Apple has put online several technical notes in English on the Time Capsule
Setting up Time Capsule for the first time
Backing up with Time Capsule for the first time
Time Capsule: Initial backup is interrupted
Restoring files from a Time Capsule backup
We learn that it is very compatible with Time Machine, and the first back up can be extremely long. Following back ups, being incremental, will be more rapid.
Apple gives some advice:
- Never interupt the first back up; if you do - you must start again from scratch.
- For the first back up : have the computer connected via AirPort as close to the base station as possible - or better - use Ethernet.
