best solution to backing up 2 mac book pros to one drive

I have an old Mac book pro that is backed up to (1) Terabyte hard drive. I now want to back up new Mac Book pro but out of space- need another drive? iCloud?. What would you suggest? It scares me to think icloud would be holding my data hostage. Could use help deciding. Apple back up? iCloud? Another generic back up option. (PS use a lot of pictures for special needs client - hence the photos and videos taking up large quantities of space. Thanks.

the best and the easist one is to purchase a second external hard drive and use as a back up disk. also icloud is not for back up your computer main usage reason is to sync data between IOS and OS X devices mostly contacts and photos.
