Hi,

I've been using time machine for a while on my Macbook Pro, but have just added a second user. Will time machine just back up in the same manner, and back up both user accounts, or does each user account need it's own time machine back up?

TIA

Under default circumstances it backs up all Users. You can configure it to Exclude specific Users from the backup (System Preferences > Time Machine > Options), but that's clearly not what you want to do.
