I have El Capitan running now. I tried to transfer my Time Machine backup to a new, larger disk, and after a few hours of grinding things came to a halt with “Error Code -43,” saying that some files could not be found.
Snooping around on line, I learned that symbols in file names (e.g. %, #, &, etc.) choke El Capitan, and that Apple never patched this problem. With >2 million files, one can’t find and correct the offending file names. I tried copying via the Terminal interface, but couldn’t get it to work. So the question: Can one copy a Time Machine backup (or other large set of files) in Sierra without it choking?
