Can Migration Assistant be used to move information From a Bootable external SSD back to the Fusion Drive on my Imac
A few months ago, I installed a Bootable external SSD using a Thunderbolt 3 enclosure with a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M2 SSD on my Retina 5k 27-inch 2017 Imac which runs Ventura 13.6.1. The installation was successful and my system boots from the external SSD without any problems. To do the installation I followed the instructions in an article posted on the Apple Community System found here.
I then used Migration Assistant to move everything that could be moved to the new External bootable SSD. I left the earlier version of Ventura on the Fusion drive but I deleted the data from the Macintosh HD - Data directory on the Fusion Drive. Everything worked fine.
Can anyone advise me if it is possible to move everything back to the Fusion Drive and how I might go about that process?
My end goal is to repurpose the External SSD as a dedicated Time Machine backup if at all possible.
Thank you
