I want to use Time machine to back up two separate computers. I want to use these back ups to transfer to two new computers. Should I partiation the hard drive?
It seems if you are always using it on two computers it recognizes them, but I will be moving them to new computers
Thanks
Yes would agree on Partitioning the Drive into Two Separate Partitions. The only downside - external drives do fail from time to time - so having all the Eggs in One Basket is hum - not a good idea in my opinion. Better to have two separate Externals and each assigned to different machines for Backup.
While doing a Rescue Plan of this type - worthwhile making Separate Bootable Clones again on separate external drives. If really what additional protection - have additional Bootable Clones Off-Site incase of fire, flood etc.
