[QUOTE="krs, post: 1922930, member: 67742"] All true, but having someone do that over a period of 2-3 days using the backup would still mean that any changes or additions/deletions done on the old Mac will be missing on the new one. I do migrations of Macs in my family via an external backup myself but do all of it at once. Since the OP is moving from macOS 10.12 to a new Mini which I assume will be running Catalina or later, I think the first thing to do is to check for any 32-bit applications that are being use now, but which will not be compatible with the later macOSs - and what to do about them.
