two macs backing up to Time capsule

Hi


I have been backing up my iMac via Time Machine to my Time Capsual. I want to also back up my MacBook Pro the same way, can I do this at the same time as the iMac backs up?


Thanks

Alani

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Thanks mende1. I set the MacBook on Time Machine backup and it automatically started. Does it make it's own backup label, i.e. I hope it doesn't back up as the same file as my iMac? It's just that I noticed that the name of the backup file is 'Data' on both Macs. I assume it automatically separates backups as iMac and MacBook Pro?
