Apple on Thursday began shipping a two terabyte version of its Time Capsule backup system, double the storage capacity from what's been available up to now. The new 2TB Time Capsule costs $499, the same price as the 1TB Time Capsule prior to this refresh of the product line.

Time Capsule sits on a wireless network, communicating using the 802.11n Wi-Fi networking protocol. It combines a wireless router with a hard a disk drive that enables Macs on the network to back up files using Time Machine, Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard's" automatic backup software.
