How do I connect backup disk to my new iMac 24 inch, Ventura

You use a USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect the external backup drive to the new iMac.


For the Apple adapter, see > USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple


FWIW I have several of the following Philip's USB-C to USB-A adapters and they work just fine.
