Hey all,
Been a while but I am lost for solutions and have been messing with different methods and disks/file systems and so forth.
Issue: I have 2 backup disk for my Macbook Air and would like to merge them all together onto a single larger disk.
1st backup - resides on an apple time capsule (in a Sparse Bundle since it's a network backup) in an HFS Case-senseitive Not Journaled file system (default for time machine using an apple time capsule).
2nd backup - resides on a 256GB usb drive. It is formated Mac OS Extended
I have tried simply restoring the time capsule sparse bundle in disk utility to the new 2TB external and then simply copying the data out of the smaller 256GB drive Backups.backupdb onto the new disk. But it appears im having hard link and hard folder link issues. Makes sense seeing as how these two backups never knew the other existed although from the same machine and similar data.
I have also tried using SuperDuper! to copy the data out of the Backups.backupdb folders on both backups on a new drive with no luck.
Any suggestions?
