Expanding Time Capsule


i have had 1tb 2 years , needing more storage on it, not want buy 1 although 3tb lovely. have read can plug in usb hd tc.
sound simple enough, strict procedure , how time machine carry on after have done this.
wipe tc clean, how new available space integrate tc?

thanking not confident out ordinary.
 

if intending expand storage of internal drive of time capsule, not possible without physically opening , exchanging hard drive larger capacity drive.

when connect usb hdd time capsule, seen different hard drive entirely. can select target time machine backups have recreate backups. said, have had success copying sparsebundle file volume , continuing backup through time machine, may able copy current backup new drive , continue there (although i'm not entirely sure work flawlessly).

option keep old backups on internal drive , start fresh backup on usb hdd. you'll still able access old files manually mounting sparsebundle file old time capsule hard drive.
