Default How many floppies for backing up multiple PCs

How many floppies for multiple PCs if you have 2 or more PCs running Xp
and want to use the Backup Utility on each of them, do you need a
seperate floppy for each PC?

I didn't know if the Backup Utility created unique files for each PC on
the floppy OR whether you could just use ONE floppy to restore all your
PCs that are backed up.

(This question is in regards to at the end of the Backup process, it
asks you to insert a floppy to use when restoring your PC)

Thanks!

Kenziemack,
You will need a separate floppy for each system because the files on the
floppy store information for each backup set created in effect to direct the
restore function to the exact location of the backup.

Hope this helps

Resistance is futile, use other media.
