Hey folks!

Atm i copy my complete Timemachine Backup from my Timemachine External drive to a folder an my other External Drive. My Timemachine external drive was not readable any more - the filesystem was crashed somehow - how i did this is a different story ;-)

Well, i managed to copy ALL files from it by Data Rescue II.
Now i thought about how it might work for backup my system witch is neccessary now.
Is there a possibility to choose a "Folder" with a Timemachine Backup?
Do i have to reformate the External drive - copy all files back and start the backup from it again? Will it be recognised as Timemachine Backup?

Ask if you didnt get it - im a bit dizzy after the last 20h of trying to get the stuff of that damn drive ;-)
