Complete PC Backup to external hard drive: share the drive?

Does Complete PC Backup to an external hard drive allow the drive to store
other files and, specifically, to use the same external drive to do Complete
PC Backups of, say, both a Vista Laptop and a Vista Desktop?

Or does it assume the external hard drive is dedicated to a Complete PC
Backup of just one Vista machine?

You can use your external for anything, anywhere you want.

You can do everything you just asked for, and more.

Relax.
