Q: Time Machine - Tansferring backups to a new USB HD
Hi.
as I have run out of space on my external 1 TB HD I thought I would buy a 2 TB USB HD and transfer the files across using the steps given here Time Machine: How to transfer backups from a current backup drive to a new backup drive - Apple Support
All proceeded well until 8 hours into the transfer. I got a message saying that I do not have permission to access to transfer all the files and the transfer was terminated. In comparing my 2 USB HD's there is a larger amount of data that has not been transferred. I followed the instructions as given on the weblink but it seems that there are access/permission issues. The old backups are mavericks based while I now use yosemite.
I would appreciate any help that you could give.
