[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1517608, member: 24160"] I've been using the same Time Capsule for 6 yrs now and it currently has TM backups for 3 Macs plus additional stuff from one of my Windows machines on it - all in a single partition. This is not what most of us (incl'g myself) would call best practice. I started doing this right after Time Machine and the Time Capsule came out as an experiment and have never (knock on wood) had a problem and so never changed it. Every once in awhile - like perhaps 3 or 4 times over the 6 years - one of the Macs will claim it can't find the Time Capsule while the other 2 continue working. A reboot of the TC has taken care of that issue thus far. [/QUOTE]
