[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1482261, member: 214663"] HI, I think it depends on what OS you are running. Recent enhancements to Mountain Lion made it possible to add extra drives to your TM back up routine. TM then rotates the schedule to include all those additional drives if you wish. It can provide back ups at different locations which is handy if you move your machine regularly. What I don't think it can do is differentiate between different accounts on the one original HDD..there may be a way but I don't know of one. What it appears to do is keep each user's data separate on the back up in separate user home folders. One user cannot access another user's back ups. I would think that a back up is a back up. You can however specify certain files and folders not to be backed up according to personal preference and in order to optimise space used on the back up volumes. [/QUOTE]
