Transfer Time Machine backups from one backup disk to another. Could that be a contributing factor?Īlan Harper shared this new Apple support article from Octoto his answer below: I run OSX as a standard user, rather than as an admin. ![]() I know I can't use rsync to do a copy as it doesn't respect the hard links TM uses, so is there anything else I can do to transfer the files? If I have to buy disk cloning software that's OK, as I really don't want the backup disk to fill up, as that has happened to me before and I lost data. (OSStatus error 1.)īoth the old and new disks are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) 1. Source volume format on device "/dev/disk5" is not valid for restoringĬould not validate source - Operation not permitted I have also tried restoring to the target drive using Disk Utility, but that gives me this error: ![]() ![]() ![]() I had a look through the console output, but couldn't find anything indicating what the problem might have been. I tried following the instructions in the official support document a couple of times but it didn't work: this dialogue came up, incremented slowly for several days, but when it had gone no copy was made: My backup disk is getting full, so I bought a bigger one and I'm trying to copy the backups to it (the current backup size is 1.5TB)
