Hi
Here I go again with a monumentally stupid question
Okay, I have placed on my HD a pristine Yosemite system after erasing the HD.
Okay, now I want to copy over all my gazillion apps, documents, etc from my Mavericks HD.
Sounds like a job for Migration Assistant.
If I select my Time Machine Drive (which looks like the following)
Backups.backupdb
John's iMac
2014-10-19-2231467
Macintosh HD
2014-10-19-233353
LaCie External HD
Macintosh HD
Latest (alias)
good ole Migration Assistant gives me TWO Latest Backups, I GUESS because of the Symbolic Alias Latest.
The Latest is, in fact, the one 2nd-to-last in the above graphic.
BUT, I do NOT want the backup called LaCie, I want Macintosh HD and Migration Assistant does NOT provide me that choice.
ONE MORE THING will Migration Assistant NOT recognize disk images and only real Hard Drives, like the one holding a CCC/SuperDuper Clone.
Im getting a darn headache.
Why can I NOT just use the contents of CCC/SuperDuper disk image and copy its contents over ONLY WHEN the date stamp on the CCC/SuperDuper file on the source is GREATER THAN the date stamp of file on the destination.
Sort of like Migration Assistant, but with CCC/SuperDuper instead.
