Time Capsule

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

I want to get this for my parents so that they can backup their files to something, and I also want to upgrade my network to be ready for laptops and the such. Is this the best device for this, it will be running backups for a iMac G5 running Leopard? Is there something better/cheaper? Once again this is for my parents so less setup and overhead, the better.

In terms of set it and forget it... Time Capsule is the way to go I would think.

I agree with TheStu, it seems to be the easiest.

If you just had the iMac, I would recommend to get a 500gb external and save $200, but since you have laptops as well, I think the Time Capsule is the way to go for ease of use by all.

Though, I have heard of speed issues with the Time Capsule, so I dunno.
