Moving Time Machine data to new MacBook

[gmez]

Hi,

So I'm planning on getting a new MacBook here shortly and was wondering how the Time Machine transfer works. A few questions:

1. Can I select which Data I upload to the new computer?
2. Is data from Address Book saved?
3. When I want to backup my new computer, can I keep the prior back up from my old computer and have a separate one for the new computer?

Thanks,

Giuseppe
