Time machine / Several Macs.
I have a simple question concerning time machine.
When using Time Machine, is it possible (impossible, recommended, not recommended) to backup several computers on the same hard disk?

If it's a USB disk drive, yeah all you have to do is disconnect it by ejecting from one computer and connecting it to another. Time Machine will automatically back up different machines to different folders on the disk.
Make sure there is enough free space for more than one machine. Command-I on the disk to see available space.

It's definitely possible, as to recommended, it depends on the speed of the disk/network, but I'm sure it's not not recommended. You can test it out and if the performance is too slow then find another solution.
If this is possible, is there some guidance on how to do it?
Or is it so simple that plugging the first computer to the HD and then the second is all I have to know?
