    Set up the second Mac just like you did the first.

     

    Click System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) on the second Mac

    Click Time Machine

    Make sure Time Machine is ON

    Click Add Backup Disk

    Select the Time Capsule disk

    Click Use Disk

     

    A backup will start in a few minutes

     

    Time Machine will automatically keep separate backups for both Macs
