moving Time Machine disc to Airport Extreme?

Greetings-

I have searched the web, but all of the articles I find are quite old. =
My daughter has a TIme Machine disc that I set up for her to back up her =
laptop. Of course it works beautifully as along as she remembers to plug =
in.=20

So I'm wondering if I were to move that particular disk to the Airport =
Extreme would Time Machine see it and continue with backups for her =
laptop? Will she have to manually mount the drive each time (which would =
be hardly any better than the current situation) or is there some magic =
once I use Time machine to point to the airdisc?

Now obviously I could just plug this in and try it out and not bother =
the list. However, the airport extreme is mounted on a beam 3 stories =
above my living room and installing up there is a significant effort if =
I find out it's no better than the haphazard backups she is getting now.

Thanks in advance.
