[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1558513, member: 46727"] The answer is you can't. When you changed the date time it was stamped into the image that Time Machine made when it did the backup. Since you used a future date, that causes the system to use the latest backup lined up with your system. You can give this a try - (no guaranty that it will work). Change the system date on your machine to match the date of the latest backup made by Time Machine and try the migration again. After (if it was successful) the transfer is made, reset the system date back to the correct time. Then start your Time Machine backups again from a fresh start. Let us know if this works. [/QUOTE]
