[QUOTE="rbpeirce, post: 1940101, member: 410088"] I use SD!. Assuming the backup itself isn't encrypted you can mount the drive and copy the folder back to your main drive. One problem is when the backup was made. Hopefully it was before the problem occurred. I keep older backups for that reason. If you aren't aware of it you can schedule SD! backups. I use a cascade system. Assuming you do this weekly you can backup the second oldest to the oldest, the third oldest to the second and so on. I actually keep the last four weeks and the last three months and I use two drives with alternating weeks/months so I am pretty well covered. Two TM backups keep daily backups for 2-3 week. With the latest APFS file system this has become really easy. [/QUOTE]
