Question about multiple computer images on a single hard drive?

I have a 1TB external Hard Drive I would like to use to backup my computers. I have about 3 different computers to back up. I will be using Acronis True Image 2010 Home. Can I have System Images for Three different computers on one hard drive?

My concern is that if I need to restore my computer using the system image I created how my computer would react to the other computers images.

    Create 3 or 4 different top-level directories.

    If the external drive is drive H: then simply create directories of H:/ComputerA, H:/ComputerB, and H:/ComputerC, and set each computer to backup to the correct directory on drive H.
