I would like to know how to backup two different computers with TC. My main computer (iMac) is backed up, but when I tried to backup my MacBook I had to choose a backup disc in Time Machine, and the only one shown is the iMac backup. How do you choose another partition on the TM?

They'll both go on the same partition; they'll just get different folders.

OK. This is what I'm getting. When I try to back up my MacBook, I get a window that asks me to choose a disk to browse, but there are none available. When I click Choose Disk... in the TM window I get the choice of my iMac backup disk and a None (?) It looks like the MacBook is backing up now, as the disk is spinning in the menu bar. I will have to wait till it's done to see if it generates another folder or file or whatever it does. I can always erase it and start over I suppose.

"Nana & Baba (Baba Backup)" is the name you gave your Time Capsule backup volume... it will put the iMac and MacBook backups in separate folders.

Time Machine has stopped backing up my iMac. I have gotten this window every hour for the last two days:
