How to recycle/reuse/continue Time Machine for a new Mac?
- by bmargulies
I have been backing up a MacBook Pro to an external hard disk with Time Machine. I got a new laptop, used the firewire connector to pull the universe across to it, and started it up. It does not want to just pick up where I left off with the backups; it wants to start a new backup sequence and thus I need a ton of additional disk space.
Does anyone know a way to force it to just incrementally back up to the existing backup set?
