[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1045517, member: 46727"] There's no way to merge the backups. As far as having them both on the same drive, that's possible. However, you would be wise to experiment with Time Machine to see if you could even access the old backups to do a restore. Also, I have to ask: Do you really need the old backups? In my humble opinion, when a backup session is very old, it's really of little use. Think about it.... You have a backup that's 6 months old, but in the meantime you've updated Snow Leopard, MS Office 2008, etc, etc.... Do you see what I mean? Regards. [/QUOTE]
