Hello, I am running the latest Mojave on a 2017 iMac using a 2 TB partition of a 4 TB USB disk for my Time Machine backup. This iMac is nearly always powered on. My wife has recently acquired a 2018 MacBook Air and I am keen for her to keep Time Machine backups. As the MacBook will be portable and used in various rooms in the house I am hoping that I can set her up to use the other 2 TB partition of the above disk as a remote Time Machine backup disk somewhat like the old Apple Time Capsule. Is this feasible and have any of you tried a similar set up? A possible complication is that I want the Time Machine backup to be encrypted. Will this encryption be done by the MacBook or by the iMac? I notice that the initial encryption of the iMac time machine partition is taking a long time and thus presumably consuming a lot of iMac CPU resource. Would this be a problem for the map book question should I do the initial Time Machine set up with the time machine disk directly connected to the MacBook? Many thanks for any tips in this area.
