TimeMachine on Macbook Pro

I setup my new hard drive to start and save the TimeMachine backup image. Can I transfer this image to another hard drive and have it still work?

Thanks!

I found the answer to my question from appletoolbox.com.


"Time Machine is more complicated than your typical backup, but you can still move all your existing Time Machine snapshots to a new drive relatively easily. In fact, it’s probably a good idea to this so you have a backup of your backup drive."
