Hi everyone,
I'm looking to merge my to Mac's [iMac and MacBook Air] into one. That means I'm selling my MBA and my iMac, and buying the MacBook Pro retina.
I want more or less my personal mac in a new hardware. So I was thinking about taking a Time Machine backup.
My first question.
Time Machine estimates it needs approximately 290 gb of storage space on an external hard drive. Will it be sufficient for me to buy a 320 gb hard drive since the number giving by time machine is only an estimation?
- I plan on buying a separate drive for my MBA later.
Second question.
How does the implementation of time machine backups on a new macbook work. Can it combine two backups (one from iMac; one from MBA) and "merge" them into a new MacBook Pro retina?
Thanks for your help
