Hi Alan, Hi Peter,
I can sympathise with your predicaments – I recently upgraded two iMacs and a
laptop from Snow Leopard 10.6 to El Capitan 10.11 and, just to complicate
things, the main iMac was running from an external drive since the internal
hard drive had previously died (the external
Hi Alan, yes that is possibly a good way to go. A further thinking on
this just now you jogged my thoughts. Is to establish a new 'clean'
backup file (rename the old one to break the link - not sure if TM is
clever enough to detect if the renamed file is in fact still the
backup file it will want t

What is the best way to migrate complete data and settings from an unreliable

256 GB SSD. There are Time Machine and Super Duper backups. I will be the
technical assistant for my brother in law who owns the macs.
