[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1589751, member: 175845"] Yes you can, but I sure wouldn't advise it and neither would several others. But it also depends on your setup and what equipment you have for your use. Do a Google search on 'use time machine to backup multiple macs' : [url]https://www.google.ca/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=use+time+machine+to+backup+multiple+macs&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=tNisU93dCKWV8QeStIHQCA[/url] If you're just going to use a single backup drive for the two Macs, I'd suggest just partition the external into two partitions so that each Mac has it's own partition. For some good info on TM, checkout this site that used to be updated with good info: [url=http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html]Apple OSX and Time Machine Tips[/url] PS: May I suggest you also use CCC and create a cloned [B]bootable[/B] backup!!
