Q: Transfer only one time machine backup to new drive

Old Drive A has Time Machine backups for macbook and iMac. Drive A is not partitioned.

New Drive B has been partitioned and my intent is to transfer one backup to each partition.

I cannot drag the Backups.backupdb folder to the new disk as it'll put both backups on the same partition.

Can I just create a folder Backups.backupdb on each partition and drag the backups into their respective folders on their respective partitions?

Thanks.
