You want to transfer some of your back-up to the original disk? that's called 'not having a back-up'! or plain old 'having duplicates'. I suspect there is a different question lurking here. Do you want to use the external drive for something else? or reorganise your files somehow (or both). describe the final set-up that you want and why it makes sense (eg 'need to make room on the MB' or 'want to save space on the TM backup disk as it's not big enough') --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
