Click and hold the icon in the dock for Time Machine. The context 
menu should come up with an option to "Back Up Now"...


in the menu bar is also a time machine icon ( next to spaces) ( if 
you have that  preference selected), click "back up now"

Hi Steven,

AppleInsider has a good article, down near the end of Page 2 'Gigabit  
Ethernet vs Fast Ethernet vs Wireless' there is a Chart:

Time Capsule / Airport Extreme / PowerMac G5




Cheers,

This initial back up is frustrating. There is 130Gb to back up. Over
Airport
was proving too slow, and besides the back up failed by the time I
got up in
the morning, supposedly due to a connection error. So I connected  
Time

Capsule via Ethernet, which is obviously faster (but still slow) and
now
it's failed again :-( Looks like Time Machine doesn't remember at
what point
it reached of the initial back up.

And would the connection via USB be faster than Ethernet? I have a
Core 2
Duo MacBook Pro. (No FireWire connection on the Time Capsule it
seems -
which is disappointing).


Cheers,
Ronni
