Backup a Time Machine backup?
When troubleshooting a Mac in the past, I had the scary experience of it erasing my Time Machine backup. Fortunately, I was able to restore the backup onto the drive.
Now I am troubleshooting another Mac, I have my external Time Machine drive and an external blank drive.
For safety's sake, before attempting further troubleshooting of this Mac, I want to backup the Time Machine drive onto the blank drive.
Obviously, I could just drag-copy the documents folder from one drive to the other, but this can cause all kinds of permissions problems. Would it be possible (or better) to use a backup application like Carbon Copy Cloner to do this?
