How to Unhide Library folder from a TM Backup?
Hi, I just found this thread from a few years back while desperately trying to solve an issue here... Glenn posted this great reply, but I'm having an issue executing.
"If you want to unhide and view the user library in the Finder view of a particular TM backup:
Navigate to the backup on the TM disk you wish to view. Select your Home Folder in the user folder of that backup. Right click on your account name (control Click) and then hold down the Option Key. Select copy "***" as Pathname.
Then, go the the Finder, select Go from the menu, then Go To Folder and paste the copied pathname to the window. Add /Library to the end of the pathname in the window, then hit Go. A Finder window show open that backup user Library folder.
The issue I have is right at, "Right click on your account name (control Click) and then hold down the Option Key. Select copy "***" as Pathname."
I don't see that option.
I believe the issue may be in the preceding step, "Select your Home Folder in the user folder of that backup." I only see my user folder, not a 'Home' folder within it. Has the configuration of TM backups changed since this last post, or is there something else I'm missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
