Trying to restore a backed up USB drive...
I currently back up the hard drive of my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro and recently started to include a USB drive in the back ups as well as it holds a lot of pictures and videos.
This seems like a simple issue but I'm still stuck. When I go into Time Machine with the USB drive attached I can see the back ups... as long as the drive is attached. However if the USB drive dies and I need to restore the back ups obviously I won't be able to attach the drive. Any idea how to get at those backups without the USB drive being attached?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
