Time Machine Backups

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud

Hey all, new user here.

I have multiple Macs in the family.  Can they all backup using Time Machine to my MyCloud device?  I have my Macbook doing backups right now just fine.  If I have my step-daughter set hers up, will it go to the same Timemachine Backup share?  If so, how do you know which TM backup is for which Mac? 

Does this make sense?

Thanks…

Welcome to the Community.

Multiple Mac OS systems can store a Time Machine backup into your WD My Cloud as long as they don’t have the same computer names. They will be kept in the Time Machine share unless specified otherwise, and are identified by name.
