Can one ‘re-link’ previous Time machine drive to access pre-crash data
My mom’s iMac internal HD drive failed. I had setup used TM in 2015 to backup her internal drive AND a 4TB external drive with all her media work on it. It worked well.
3 years later, Just came back for the holidays from sailing around the world and disaster: iMac no longer boots. Her external 4TB RAID-0 SSD array is no longer readable. I replaced Internal 3TB HD with new Toshiba 10TB 7600 rpm HD and rebuilt the Fusion drive with it. Installed Mojave on it. Got her account restored with her internal files on it.
NOW trying to restore external 4TB drive from Time Machine but it is not showing up with migration tool. I suspect it is on the 10 TB Time Machine drive BUT on an older backup on the 10TB time machine ext drive.
When I try looking at Time Machine from her restored account on the NEW 10TB Fusion Mojave drive, it does not allow me to go back in time and asks me to select a drive for Time Machine. This would I suspect wipe out the data I need on the 10TB Time Machine ext backup drive.
Is there a way got me to ‘re-link’ the before failure Time Machine 10TB drive so it lets me go back in time until I see a backup of the external 4TB media files drive?
Questa è una buona domanda?
