Hi and tnxs for reading.
I have a question about TM Backups.
In case my HD definitively fail and I install a formatted new one, by powering up my macbook pro in recovery mode with CMD+R, do I have the option to reinstall all my TM data including Mavericks (if I have a WiFi internet connection for the download) or do I have first to install Mavericks and then restoring the TM Backup?
Many tnxs,
cheers.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Install Mavericks then restore from TM backup
Tnxs but, how do I reinstall Mavericks if the disk is failed? Can I do it with my AppleId and PWD in recovery mode via Internet?
You said you installed a new HD, so use either command+R to put a clean version of Mavericks on the new HD. Once Mavericks is installed, then you can copy over stuff from your backups.
So you confirm that cmr-R allows you to reinstall Mavericks from ZERO if you have internet?
Yes it does
