Time Machine: move backups from an old drive to a new one.
I searched this topic here and haven't found anything helpful in earlier posts on this subject. One such recommended, after all the formatting procedures for the new drive are done, copying Backups.backupdb to the new drive after it has been added in the Settings > Time Machine panel. My old LaCie has no such file on it.
The old drive is unstable and can't be repaired but still does regular backups. Has the procedure for accomplishing this changed in Ventura?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
