Question

Time Capsule - Multiple Backups

Oct 25, 2011 4:50PM PDT

Recently purchased new Time Capsule (4th gen) to replace my old Time Capsule (1st gen).

Followed
the instructions on the Apple support site to copy all of the backups from old TC to
new TC (which took nearly 3 days) and now need to access those old
backups which have been copied to the new TC.

Am not able to see them via Time Machine, only the backups created since installing new TC.

I've looked at the new Time Capsule in Finder and have 2 Sparsebundle files on it.. One is the current set of backups (approx 210gb) and the other is what's been copied from the old TC (approx 970gb)..

So, the data is there, but I can't see a way to access it through Time Machine.

Any ideas ?
