I want to move the Time Machine DB file from one volume ( My Book ) to another volume ( Time Machine ). These are two physical Firewire Drives, [My Book] connected to iMac Firewire port, and [Time Machine] connected to second port on [My Book].
I was told that I could not simply 'copy' the Time Machine databse file to a new location and tell TimeMachine to use that drive. Something about 'hard links' within the database file not copying over. I was told to use " Disk Utility " RESTORE functions to mover the file to the new drive.
Every time I attempt this it aborts and I get a message that say " process not allowed ".
I did this twice.
First time "Time Machine" was turned ON, I thought maybe if I turned off Time Machine that would resolve it.
Second time with Time Machine turned OFF, still got the error message.
Anyone have ideas????
Thanks
