how do I move a file from TimeMachine backup to a different computer

I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro == I have a TimeMachine backup of the iMac and need data off it == it went to the shop the other day and I need a few docs that I know are there -- how do I do that? the TM backup is on an external drive == I don't want to overwrite my MBP == I only want the few files that are in TM from the past day or two.

Great news Victoria, thanks. :)


Don't take any guff from people that tell you to just google it, for instance if I google from a Mac that I've googled a million+ times on it gives way better answers if I google on a Mac that I never did before... there also seems to be some kind of art to it I don't quite understand, like change the order of one word & get more relevant results.


Strange thing on this one was I searched your exact title!!!
