Hi Ranulph
You can inherit the old backup sparsebundle with the MacBook Air using the
command line tmutil. Click the Time Capsule in a Finder window > Connect to its
share called Data > you should see a .sparsebundle file. Open Applications >
Utilities > Terminal > type in
sudo tmutil inheritbackup
Then drag that .sparsebundle image into the terminal window and push return.
Type your password and hopefully it shouldn't come back with any errors. If you
just get a blank line after pushing return that means it all went through ok.
