Multiple Macs to ReadyNAS 314 using Time Machine

Can multiple Macs back up to a ReadyNAS 314 using Time Machine from each Mac?

Thanks

    Yes.

    Do note that in the upcoming 6.2.0 release we have added private Time Machine backup locations.

    Previously anyone with the TM credentials could see everyone else's TM backups.

    As far as I understand Time Machine, each Mac will have its own sparse bundle as long as they have different names, so there shouldn't be any problem.

    That's true. I've used the Global Time Machine with several Macs
