Re-using Time Machine external disk
Hello. If I have an external hard drive used for Time Machine backups, and I use that disk to restore my data onto a new Mac, what are the best practices for potentially using that external disk as my Time Machine backups on the new Mac?
Will the drive be wiped once I setup Time Machine on the new Mac?
Would it be best just to buy a new external drive for the new Mac?
The old Mac will probably be stored powered down for a short period of time and then decommissioned and discarded.
Thanks for the tips!
