Dead Mac - Can I do a partial restore from a Time Machine backup (external drive)?
My old friend (2013 MacBook Pro) finally gave up the ghost. Fortunately, I did a full backup to an external HD about a week before it died.
Already ordered a new MacBook Pro which will arrive tomorrow. My question is: Can I do a PARTIAL restore to the new computer? I don't want the old OS or all of the "junk" files which accumulate over time. I would like to selectively restore certain applications & their related data files, images, etc. - but want to select what to restore.
Is this possible? I certainly hope so; if not, I may have backed up an entire HD to an external drive and not really be able to keep what I want/need.
Thank you...
