Time Machine to backup 2 different drives onto 1 drive?

Can I use Time Machine to back up 2 different physical drives on my 2012 Mac Pro running High Sierra?

If so, how?


I have 2 drives - 1 of personal files, & 1of audio recordings, & I want to back them both up to 1 backup drive (partitioned into 2 sections).

each being backed up to a separate partition


No if you bring different Partitions into it thenI'd recommend these 2 Apps, but no need for separate partitions...
