Time Machine of more than one Mac?

Hi,

I just purchased a ReadyNAS 516. How can I use the NAS for Time Machine Backups of more than one Mac? The manual describes the procedure for one Mac, but it does not describe how to do it for two ore more Macs? Can anyone help me out on this?

Cheers,
Chris

    The quota you set is shared by all the Macs you backup to the ReadyNAS. You can backup several Macs if you have enough space on the NAS.

    Okay. So in case I have three Macs with system discs of 500GB each, I have to set the quota to at least 1.5TB, right?
