Hi, and welcome to the forums.

Are you trying to restore your entire system from TM backups, or make a copy of your TM backups?

The message saying +into Time Machine Drive+ makes me wonder.

Thank you for the reply.

I was helping a friend with their back up and it has just been revealed that its not actually a time machine .tar file im now trying to find research the truth behind the original archiving application.

Thank you for the time
