Im kinda new to macs and am about to start using time machine, im looking at getting a large (around 2TB) external drive and wondered if i could back up 2 macbooks to it (mine and my wife's) - i presume time machine is clever enough to distinguish between the 2 mac copies on the same drive??

any thoughts much appreciated, thanks!
