Instead, it preserves the permissions for backed up files, so while every user can access the backups, they cant just browse other users' files on the backup. Time Machine does not make separate backups for individual users. All users will be able to invoke Time Machine to get to their backed up files. Users (depending on if they've got admin privileges) may have control over turning time machine on or off, but this does not change who can access the backups. It is not on or off for a specific user account. The Time Machine will either be on for the whole system, or off for the whole system. The backup will essentially keep a copy of the whole hard drive on the backup drive. It will back up the directory structure exactly as it is on your main hard drive. When a user account is added to the computer, their home folder will be added to the backup in a similar way to if you added a new application. When you first backup it will backup your whole system (user directories, system directories, applications, etc) unless you specify folders to exclude.
