How do I transfer my Time Machine backup to a new SSD?

Can I use CCC to copy a Time Machine backup?

No. Copying a Time Machine backup volume with anything other than the Finder is not supported (by us, nor Apple); CCC specifically disallows copying anything to or from a Time Machine backup volume. Apple does not document a procedure for making copies of Time Machine volumes.

Is there a specific process for transferring the backup file, or can I just drag in the Finder?

Thanks,

Start a new backup on the drive you want to use...

The implications where " oblique " or not remains the same

No.

Copying a Time Machine backup volume with anything other than the Finder is not supported (by us, nor Apple);

Thusly, the suggestion by my colleague @leroydouglas was to offer a an alternative which may or may not meet the user likings

Bottom-line

One can not longer Copy or Transfer the contents of a Time Machine Backup drive from one external drive to another

There is no obliqueness at all. It can no longer be done.

You are welcome
