What is the proper way to copy backup files from Catalina time machine to Monterey time machine?
What is the proper way to copy 450GB (6 years) of Macbook Pro running Catalina time machine backups onto a new time machine disk for my new Macbook Pro running Monterey so that I can actually "enter time machine" to search/restore files?
I tried connecting both disks to my new computer, and dragging and dropping, but it "prepared to copy files" for days and then just stopped.
Also, strangely both disks were originally formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) w/ GUID partition, but I noticed that Monterey keeps wanting to reformat/reformatting the time machine to APFS. ???
