Selectively restore from a time machine backup created on snow leopard to a different machine running mountain lion I have a current time machine backup on USB from an older machine running snow leopard 10.6. How can I selectively restore applications and data from this time machine disk to a new mac running Mountain Lion 10.8?
You can just copy folders and files from /Volumes/*/Backups.backupdb/ normally. Finder and cp don't preserve hard links.
