Q: Migrate Time Machine SD backup: "No OS X system backups were found"
I've made my first TimeMachine backup for my MacBook Air (Late-2010) on an SD card. But before I trust my backup to TimeMachine, I'm testing the restore process.
My Air is encrypted and partitioned (80G system, 40G free). The SD card is also partitioned (100G TimeMachine, 20G VFAT) and DiskUtility reports the SD card has an Apple Partition Map. Also, importantly, the TimeMachine partition is Apple Extended (Journaled).
The problem is I can't get Migrate to see the backup. When I boot with SPLAT-R, choose restore from TimeMachine, the next screen shows: "No OS X system backups were found".
What am I missing?
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), null
