Hi Pete,
Yes, I backup both our laptop and a secondary iMac to the same NAS. I don't remember the details of how I set it all up but I currently have the 2-disc NAS set-up as just 2 separate hard drives (ie SPAN not RAID) and: On HD 1 I have: Separate user folders for myself & Georgie A shared folder open to both of us A media folder to use as an iTunes server (not currently used) HD 2 is enabled for TM backup and the two computers create their own TM sparsebundle backups on this drive That is the general setup and it all seems to work fine - so consequently, having not had to sort anything out, I don't actually remember much about the details! Obviously this does not give me the same redundancy as using a RAID setup however I also have clones and sync to the cloud as other levels of backup/redundancy.

I expect it’s simply a matter of simply setting up separate share for each computer, but it’s not clear from the links you’ve given. Their documentation is a little sparse on this subject.
