[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1143611, member: 131855"] That should work fine. Both machines should be able to backup to the drive though you will usually need to format the drive to HFS+. I have seen some reports of other formats being used over networks but haven't tried it. The backups will be stored in separate sparse bundle files. If possible do the initial backup by an Ethernet connection. The initial backup can take quite some time. [/QUOTE]
