Currently using Time Machine to back up my iMac.
Sounds like the HD is making death rattles, so I'm getting a new one.
Thinking is to get the new one, install it and name it #2 and let it backup the current Time Machine as well as the system. Or maybe just drag the old TM file to the new one?
Should I do this, or just unplug the old HD and install the new one keeping the old one so I can go way back in my files incase I need to find something from way back?
Old HD is 1TB, and the new one will be 2TB so I'll have plenty of room.
