And, I have to keep case sensitive, journaled format for any future backups but is there any chance they will get rid of the formatting in the future? Thanks for helping me understand! It's a bit of a pita but maybe it would be better to reformat and back up everything again as you suggest.The remaining steps vary considerably depending on the operating system you are running. But, If I want to use TM backups that are not that old and be able to navigate them, I need to re-format the 2 new Passport drives to Case Sensitive, Journaled and backup everything again, right? Can it be Case Sensitive, Journaled AND Encrypted if the MY BOOK is not encrypted? I would like to protect the files and encrypt them now if possible. I don't really think that TM will be useful or really needed as long as I can still use doc files, photos, and videos stored. Many of the older backups have obsolete applications.

In any case, we want the newer smaller portable drives and we will need more room for photos, videos, etc. However, If I now understand it right now, TM would auto delete older TM backups to make room, and I would still have file copies just not some of the most old copies that were erased, right? I stopped it because I thought I was going to have important files erased with no copies left available and that's when I got the 2 new drives. I thought I could not really use the old My Book to backup the Catalina MacBook laptop because it was full. I started with backing up the laptop, ipad and Iphones before I started with the older My Book and got the error message. As you know, the amount of storage data on each of these new hard drives is 10x more for about half same price I paid when the 500 GB was all the rage! We also have an Ipad and 2 Iphones with many photos and videos to back up and we are trying to back up those, the My Book, and Macbook Air twice onto the 2 new drives. The 2 new external hard drives are 5 TB WD Passports which came formatted already. The Catalina is on my early 2015 Macbook Air laptop which is the computer I am still using. The 500 GB is an old WD My Book which has been used to backup multiple computers over the years. We are talking about 25-30 years of crap.Thanks for any help. There are so many files to sift through and there are so many I have no idea what they are and want to delete them if they are now useless.

Or am I missing something? Also, is there any good program that will clean up old outdated software and obsolete files that will no longer work with the newer version of Mac OS? I am using Catalina now. Is the only thing I am really loosing the ability to go back in time through time machine on these files? I really don't see a need with these old files, just making sure I have all my old documents, photos, etc. I ended up just dragging the "Hard Drive" file form the "Latest" backup. The only glitch is when I tried to drag the backup files from TM. Right now I am just dragging and moving files manually. The new drive already has other backups on it so I do not want to reformat or erase it. I am trying to transfer 500gb of an old back up drive (case sensitive, journaled) onto a new 5tb drive (journaled, encrypted) and got the same error message above. Hello, I came across this old thread, but I am currently experiencing the same issue. If I have any "hickups"/issues, I can always revert to the OS 10.10.5 SuperDuper! backup to get back in business. I am confident all that will go smoothly.

Use the latest version of TechTool Pro (the El Capitan compatible version, V8.0.3, just came out yesterday) to create the eDrive.
Once that is done, I will need to complete 3 more tasks:ġ. I will then use Migration Assistant to get all my other stuff I need from the SuperDuper! backup for each machine. It works like a charm! In fact, tomorrow, after performing my normal weekly cleanup/disk maintenance/repairs/backup for both of my machines, I will go through the process of installing OS 10.11.1, the latest version of El Capitan, onto each SSD inside each of my Macs. I actually have used Migration Assistant to "migrate"/copy all the non-Apple stuff from my SuperDuper! backup. The program will then provide a "chart" showing the number of files, and the amount of space it takes up, for various "higher level" folders. Next, choose the "device"/partition where you want to migrate the data from.ģ. In the Utilities folder within your Applications folder, launch the Migration Assistant program.Ģ.
