Running time machine on an Airport Extreme?

    Just wondering has anyone set this up with the newer Airports ?

    I currently have a Mybook hooked up by USB3 to my mac. I'm out of space on the USB hub & although I have the older flatter extreme, I was thinking of upgrading it to the new one & hooking up my time machine through that, freeing up a much needed USB port.

    For USB I currently have my keyboard (don't like the bluetooth ones), an external 3TB of iTunes, a USB hub and my current time machine.

    The Hub has an external 3TB of CCC backup (to be sure, to be sure), a printer, & two (different purpose) scanners.

    If I can hook up the TM to a new AE, it would free up a port & save me a couple of quid as the other option is to get a new Time Capsule.

    Would appreciate any input before I pull the trigger on the purchase tomorrow.

    Thanks

    I have an older AE and Time Machine works great. Initial backup took a few days but after that it was effortless and didn't clog up my network.
