However I would not recommend you do it that way..
Very seldom does it work and you end up with unusable backup.
Simply archive off the old backups to a USB drive.. and wipe the TC and start a whole new backup.. after 6-12months you are unlikely to need the old backups ever again so wipe them.. and then backup the TC again to the USB drive and think seriously about starting over.
