Old MacBook Air - large files not DLed to hard drive

Can I use migration assistant if my old MacBook is space saving and doesn’t have all files downloaded?

I tried backing it up manually to an external drive and it was taking days for just a few files (I’m a photographer so there are a lot.)

What happens when my new Mac has less hard drive space than the old Mac did? Can I recover my time machine back up to an external device? My new Mac Mini has 500 a GB SSD, while my old iMac had a 3TB drive. There is obviously not enough room to recover everything from my external Time machine back up to this new machine. Is there a utility that can be used to recover data from the old 3TB drive (time machine) to an external drive? I hope I'm being clear, I'm not asking to move the time machine back up from one external drive to another.. I'm looking to recover files, ie extraction of files from time machine to another/ larger external device. Thank you for your thoughts on this.

Data Transfer Files not appearing I recently got a new macbook air and transferred data from my old windows PC. It seems like everything transferred but the documents folder (even though it was selected). Not sure how to transfer it because now when I try using the migration assistant it says I don't have enough space. Not sure how to delete files to free-up space either. Appreciate any help.

Move back up files from external hard drive without time machine I had to carry out a full erasure of my macbook pro today as it was not booting. I copied the files via target disk mode using a working laptop and stored them onto an external hard drive. The problem is that since the files were not saved via time machine, time machine does not recognise them as a back up to restore from. I'd particularly like to copy the apps and settings to my now working laptop (the general files, I understand, I can just transfer directly in Finder) to avoid having to install everything individually so I am wondering if there is a way to do this? Thanks!

You use MA for whatever is available to transfer. If certain documents don't get backup up for whatever reason, put them on an external HDD and transfer them manually with Finder. Do not use Finder to open the TM dataset.
