Just setup both macs to target he ReadyNAS - a separate backup per Mac will be maintained

Note the backup size you specify in Frontview when enabling TM support is the total size for all backups, not per Mac

This is not working for me with Lion and the new firmware on my NV+.

I just added my Mac Mini to the ReadyNAS Time Machine. A new sparse bundle has been created, but it seems to be using my MBP bundle. Now today, my MBP Time Machine is saying it is failing because its sparse bundle is already in use...

Frustrating.
