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.
