I have 2 Linux pcs, wondering if I can have my time shifts backed up to 1 hard drive or if I need to have seperate drives for each PC.
EDIT: I was able to make a partition and use 1 hard drive to back up 2 different pcs. Thanks!

It’s not so much both computers being able to access it.
From what I have experienced Timeshift tends to lock a drive when it is doing a backup.
If computer 1 is doing a backup and computer 2 tries to start it’s backup it may fail without you noticing.
Giving each computer their own partition on the drive should alleviate the problem.
OK, thanks for the clarification. I wasn’t planning on having them using the drive at the same time so I shouldn’t have any issues.
