TIME MACHINE IMPORT
Time Machine Importer modifies the metadata of a backup drive to match the
current computer's model and unique identifiers (primary MAC address and
hardware platform UUID/provisioning UDID), attempts to associate the primary
disk with the backup, and attempts to 'inherit' the backup history.
USAGE
The backup drive should be specified by volume name or mount point. If the
backup drive is specified by the disk device name or path, Time Machine
Importer will try to find an HFS+ partition on it. If there is one, or if a
partition name or path is specified, Time Machine Importer will attempt to
find the mount point and check for the existence of a Backups.backupdb
folder.
${0} <backup drive>
DESCRIPTION
Time Machine Importer modifies the metadata of a backup drive to match the
current computer's model and unique identifiers (primary MAC address and
hardware platform UUID/provisioning UDID) and attempts to 'inherit' the
backup history.
The backup drive should be specified by disk or volume name (or path) or
the mount point of the backup drive. If Time Machine Importer cannot find
an appropriate disk volume or mount point, it will check to see if the
specified directory is a valid Backups.backupdb location (or a machine
directory under one).
A future version may attempt to detect HFS+ or APFS partitions serving as
backup drives, and, if a backup drive is specified as a device path, it
will automagically choose the correct backup path.
