Thanks for the excellent TM info! This gives me a lot of hope. I'll proceed to
requisition the drive out of storage and hope for the best!

Yes, I was hoping to get the data off the drive. I was unsure how TM drives
work when apart from the system they were backing up. If I connect the TM HDD
to another system, does TM know the backups on it aren't for that system? Would
the TM backup data be available through TM on the new system?
I'm not sure I understand the qustion. Do you just want the drive to use, or do
you want the data that's on it now?
If you just want the drive, just erase it.
If you want the data, you can probably unencrypt it by knowing the password.
It's not like an internal drive on an A4-chip machine, whic
A 2010 "cheese grater" MacPro was decommissioned on us a while back, and all
that's available to us now is its external Time Machine HDD.
Will it do us any good to requisition the drive? It was likely encrypted. Is TM
encryption "paired" to the host machine, or can the HDD somehow be used apart
