What are you trying to do.. and why do you want to access the backup of each computer from the other..??


If you are trying to sync the two computers forget it. Time Machine is much too complex.. you are basically not supposed to access the backup for a different computer unless you are needing to restore to a different localtion.


The files are not stored in TM as they are on your computer.. so you cannot just select files and copy them.. it is a major process to restore files.
