I latterly moved my world to a brand new MacBook Professional: Apple silicon, Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1. I might like to keep up continuity with my Time Machine backups on the older laptop (Mac OS Catalina, Intel primarily based). Following different solutions on this checklist, I attempted a tmutil inheritbackup with unlucky outcomes:
% sudo tmutil inheritbackup /Volumes/MyBook/Backups.backupdb/Ken’s MacBook Professional
Did not inherit machine retailer at '(null)', error: Error Area=TMStructureErrorDomain Code=7 "Construction has incorrect kind" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Construction has incorrect kind}
I guarantee you, that is the amount on which my previous Mac has been backing up efficiently for ages. And I guarantee you, this quantity was not tampered with within the technique of mentioning the brand new laptop, besides to delete some unrelated information to make room.
This is the related portion of its file system. By the way, I do not discover something with the .sparsebundle designation anyplace. Was that an older format?
Any insights enormously appreciated. Is the gap between the 2 working programs to nice? Is the transfer to Apple silicon a showstopper?
