I have two macs running sierra and two TM backups, one for each mac.

Now one mac is failing so want put it's TM on the other mac.
thing is can I put back the apps/data/passwords/etc from the mac which will be over written?

Mac A is failing.
so put TM from A on mac B.
Can I then put the data/apps/etc from TM of B back on B after it has been restored with TM from A?

sorry I might not have worded this right.

there is more data/apps on mac B than A.
But mac A has a few apps that I no longer have access to get again.

or can I simply move apps from mac A to mac B?
