我是用外接硬碟拿來當作Time Machine的硬碟。
可是舊的那一顆,因為容量不夠所以我又買了一個較大容量的外接碟。
有沒有辦法把舊外接碟的Time Machine資料轉換到新的外接碟?
想請版上的朋友們幫幫忙。
不知道有沒有人碰過這樣的問題?
我的OS 版本是10.5.8。
可是就是無法直接copy過去新硬碟,

Move your backups to a larger local backup disk
If you want to relocate your Time Machine backups to a larger (but still local) backup drive, do the following:
Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences and turn off Time Machine.
Make sure both your current backup disk and your new disk are connected and mounted in the Finder.
Open Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). In the list on the left, select your new disk (the topmost icon, not any indented volume names) and click on the Partition tab. From the Volume Scheme pop-up menu, choose 1 Partition. Click on Options and select either GUID Partition Table (if you’re using an Intel-based Mac) or Apple Partition Map (for a PowerPC-based Mac). Click on OK. Enter a name for your new backup volume (your choice), make sure the Format pop-up menu is set to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and click on Apply. Warning: this erases the entire disk!
Click on the Restore tab. Drag your current local backup volume (the indented volume name, not the disk name) from the list on the left into Disk Utility’s Source field.
Drag your newly attached and partitioned disk from the list on the left into the Destination field. Make sure the Erase Destination checkbox is selected, as it should be by default.
Click on Restore, and click Restore again to confirm. Now be prepared to wait while Disk Utility copies the files—this process could take hours or even days.
When the restoration is finished, quit Disk Utility. Return to the Time Machine preference pane, click on Select Disk (or Change Disk, in Leopard), and select your new disk as the destination. Time Machine backups should then proceed normally.
Mac OS X v10.6: How to transfer your backups from your current hard drive to a new hard drive
If you upgrade to a new hard drive with a larger capacity, you may want to transfer your existing Time Machine backups to it before using it for regular backups. To keep your existing backups on your new, larger backup hard drive, follow these steps:
1. Connect your new hard drive.
2. In Disk Utility, make sure it has a GUID partition and is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If needed, reformat the drive as Mac OS Extended with a GUID partition. If you do not know how, see the steps in this article. Note: Back up any data on the hard drive before you format it.
3. Select the new drive's icon on the desktop and choose Get Info from the File menu.
4. Make sure "Ignore ownership on this volume" is not enabled.
5. Open Time Machine preferences in System Preferences.
6. Slide the Time Machine switch to Off.
7. In Finder, double-click the current backup hard drive to open its Finder window.
8. Drag the folder "Backups.backupd" to the new hard drive.
9. Enter an administrator user name and password, then click OK to start the copying process. This may take some time to complete because all your backups will be copied.
10. In Time Machine System Preferences click "Select Disk…"
11. Select your new hard drive, then click "Use for Backup."
Now, on your new hard drive, you will have all of your existing backups from the previous backup hard drive plus have more room for more new backups.
