I was backing up my time machine and left it before heading abroad, now back after weeks and my 2012 mbpr has ran out of batteries long time ago.


The time machine external USB HD might not have completed the back up, as can see in attachment, says 'in progress'

do l just connect it again to mbpr 2012 and do another back up and it will continue where it left off?


Lastly would a clean set up in my 2023 Mac Pro 14” be ‘better’ and any files l do need, l can just transfer? Just several settings like track pad, cursor in corners having actions, trading software, take ~ 1-2 hour of extra time I guess for this ‘better’ clean set up. Opinions?
