Hide the Time Capsule Time Machine backup file
Rather than just not seeing the sparsebundle, I wanted to put mine under a "Backups" folder. I don't think you can move the file so I also hid mine (I forget what command I used but I think it was different) and created a symbolic link to it in another folder (ln -s <SOURCE_FILE> <DEST_FOLDER>)

I can confirm that you can do a restore when booting from the restore disc if you hide the backup using SetFile -a V <backup_name> (from the Developer tools - see my post above.) I assume it would also work with the chflags command, but I can't confirm that since that's not what I used.
