(This is a G5 running 10.5.6). One of my Mac's two internal hard drives dropped dead five days ago, but I had Time Machine keeping track of both of them, so I should be able to get the backed-up data from the dead drive onto the new replacement drive that I will shortly install. Right? (Say right.)
Except, I'm not sure how to restore things with Time Machine, since I never did it before, and I was hoping somebody here can answer a question I have before I try it. I have to go back five days in Time Machine to see the last backup of the dead drive, and meanwhile I have five days of additional changes to the other drive. If I go back five days in Time Machine to retrieve the dead drive's data, and I tell TM to Restore it to a replacement drive, will TM restore BOTH drives to the way they were five days ago? I don't want that, I want TM to leave the good drive current. Can I highlight ONLY the 1-gig's backup folder, and tell TM to restore it to the new drive, and it will do that and leave the other drive alone?
