[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1791742, member: 204485"] Since i would not really trust that EHD again as my one and only backup my best advice would be to put it aside somewhere safe (especially as it seems to be still functional) and perform a new Time Machine backup on a new EHD. That way if you ever discover that you are missing something you need from 2 years ago there is a chance you may be able to restore it. I run CCC and TM on separate EHD's and I've adopted a process of erasing my TM at each new macOSX upgrade so my current TM backup only covers High Sierra. But then I don't keep email older that a year or attachments I didn't already save to file. [/QUOTE]
