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.
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.
It won’t be an issue for both PCs to access it. I’ll try making another partition. 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.
