Can I use two time machines on one desktop

Is it possible to have two time machines connected to one (2Tb) drive on a MacPro? If so how do I separate the two? I have two accounts set up on the MacPro

Time Machine as it exists in Mountain Lion is not capable of being set up to save just one User account to one backup hard drive and another User account to a different backup hard drive. As steve626 mentioned above, you Can set up ML's version of Time machine to back up the entire internal hard drive of your MacPro to two alternating external hard drives.
