Just read up on Timeshift and that should be do able. I would just point them to diff folder names the host name. If your doing BTRFS snapshots it’s a little harder but still do able. You can look at the native send-receive support in BTRFS. I have never used it myself but it worked really will with ZFS

WeebLife OP ,

OK, thank you.

A partition for each one the drive should work alright, but it may turn to custard if they both try to access the drive at the same time.

WeebLife OP ,

It won’t be an issue for both PCs to access it. I’ll try making another partition. Thanks!

It’s not so much both computers being able to access it.

From what I have experienced Timeshift tends to lock a drive when it is doing a backup.

If computer 1 is doing a backup and computer 2 tries to start it’s backup it may fail without you noticing.

Giving each computer their own partition on the drive should alleviate the problem.

WeebLife OP ,

OK, thanks for the clarification. I wasn’t planning on having them using the drive at the same time so I shouldn’t have any issues.

Not sure whether timeshift supports multiple systems per partition, but I’d be very surprised if you couldn’t create separate partitions for each PC
