    Yes. Time Machine creates separate backup files for each of your computers. These files will simply expand over time until your drive is full. Alternatively, you may wish to partition the drive using Disk Utility to allocate a specific amount of space for all or each of your computers.

  • Yes! You can definitely back up multiple macs to the same Time Capsule...I have mine set up this way and it works great.

  • Yes.
    Although you may want to start them on different days as the first back up are normally alot larger. I only back up the documents (not a full system backup) and it works great. Beware that if you do store files on the capsule then its not a back up unless its on one of your macs. Ace bit of kit really easy to use.
