Copy individual time machine backup folders to new backup location
I am setting up a new time machine backup disk and was wondering if individual backup folders from a previous backup location can be copied over to the new one, e.g.
copy
/Volumes/TimeMachine_Old/UserName/2022-03-08-152725/
to
/Volumes/TimeMachine_New/UserName/
For the record, I intended to copy the entire old time machine backup to the new disk and continue using it there. Given the size of the backups and the fact that copying took an estimated 4 days and failed 3 times in a row one day in, I've lost patience and decided to just create a new backup and then try to copy old backups over individually. If that isn't possible, I'll just pray that I'll never need the old backups.
Cheers!
