Multiple system images on one boot disk

Hi everyone,
I've purchased a 5 PC license of True Image 2019. I'm using 2 PC's, one Microsoft Surface and one laptop computer. I also have an External USB 3.0 Harddisk 4TB. I partitioned this external HD so that I have 2 partitions: one partition of 1TB and one partition of 3TB. What I want to do is:
1. Make the 1TB partition bootable (win10)
2. Make a full system backup of my 4 computers and store these 4 backup files also on the 1TB partition
In case of a full system restore, I want to plug in the external HD, boot from it and select the correct full system backup (out of the 4). Is this possible?

Yes! I managed to make it work:
First I formatted my 4TB external HDD as GPT disk / ntsf partition. Next, I let True Image 2019 create this HDD bootable. As expected, a 2TB MBR partition was created. However, is was not possible using a partition manager to create a volume of the other 2TB. After some experimenting I managed to convert the disk from MBR to GPT and resizing the first 2TB to a 0.5TB partition. Then I also managed to resize the second 2TB to 3.5TB partition. After rebooting, my external HDD is still bootable and the 2 partitions available (0.5 and 3.5TB). Finally I made my 4 images and stored them on the 0.5TB partition and checked if they are selectable after booting. All functions well
