Yeah, you're right. You can mount them over the network, but then Disk Utility
often doesn't want to do a lot with them that it would otherwise be willing to
do to a directly-attached drive.
Surgery is one possibility -- extracting the drives and putting them in a
"drive toaster" or USB lashup. (You never did say WHY your old Time Machine
was failing.)
Other than that, you are left with Finder Copy-level stuff, which I suspect
will not give you the transparency you are seeking.
