    Start a new backup. You can keep the old one if you have sufficient space to backup the new computer. If not, then you need to erase the backup disk so you can backup the new computer. If you need access to the backup from your new computer: Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with Time Machine. This is an extensive site with most everything you may need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one location. Due to the passing of James Pondini the site is no longer being updated. Therefore, some of the information may be a little outdated.
