In MacOS Ventura, how do I copy my backups from a old, smaller external drive to a new, larger external drive?
All the help I have found online does not seem to work with MacOS Ventura.
Mac mini, macOS 13.2
I don't think it is possible, anymore.
If the backup drive has a Backups.backupd folder, then it is the old HFS+ format. It was possible to copy that to another drive.
The new APFS format backup drive cannot be copied.
The article on how to copy the old HFS+ format drives was removed, so I don't know if it is still possible to copy them.

I suspected as much.
Unfortunately, now I cannot re-purpose my old, smaller drive that I used for Time Machine backups. I have to keep it around.
