Advice sought re: backing up two PCs onto one external H.D
I have made Window 10 System Image backups of two laptops onto one external hard drive. This seemed to work OK insofar as the two backups label which PC they relate to. I also tried to do a File History backup on each laptop but I seem to have ended up with just one File History. When doing the second File History I seemed to run into some difficulty. For one thing, messages appeared saying I had to reconnect the external H.D which I had not disconnected. Also, I do not think the program was able to distinguish the second File History from the first although, as I said, they were from different PCs. I ended up with one File History.
Are there problems putting such backups from different PCs onto one external H.D that I should be aware of? I also wonder if I would run into problems if I had to use one of the system image backups to restore one of the PCs i.e would the program correctly identify which image it had to use? Any inf. please.
