Is there a way to use Mac A’s external USB Time Machine drive to now
backup Mac B AND KEEP the existing Mac A backups on the USB drive?
Yes you can. When you plug in the USB drive into the new computer, it will
give you the option to keep the backup that is there and create a new one,
assuming there is enough space on the drive.
Ah, thanks. Your last few words ended up being the key here-- there's very little space left of the drive. I'll need to start a new one!
