Not so fast - there is a simple and free way to make an exact copy (or “clone”) of your current Time Machine disk and plop it on your new roomier drive. Unfortunately, a new drive means starting fresh with a clean slate and no backup history. The only way to handle this particular situation is to get a larger hard drive to replace your current TM volume. Some folks won’t care depending on how long ago those backups were made, but others feel compelled to have a permanent snapshot of their systems from any given time always available. Here’s how to do it without losing your backup history.Īs a Time Machine disk drive gets full, the program will automatically delete your older backups to make room for new ones. At some point, unless you are an extremely light computer user, most people will outgrow their Time Machine disk and need to migrate to a bigger one.
