Copy files from TIme Machine back up to a new location So I have an external hard drive that is dying. I am trying to copy files from the dying drive to a new external hard drive and it keeps getting errors. Is there a way to copy files from Time Machine to this new hard drive. I DO NOT want to change my back up drive. If I hit Restore, it will just copy the files to the dying hard drive. How can I get it to copy to the new external hard drive?
