I've recently upgraded my Mac mini to a newer model and I need a smidge of help. Just before I got the newer mini, I backed it up along with an external drive. Once I set up the new mini, I transferred everything from the external drive to a new, larger one and erased the first drive. I've realized that there were a few files on the first drive I'd saved on a previous back up to my Time Capsule drive and would like to recover them (no big deal if I can't. Just some JPG photos I might be able to find on other sources online but nothing truly earth shattering). I'm having some trouble connecting to the first external drive in Time Machine because I think it's because I haven't run a formal first back up on the new mini (I think) so I'm wondering will I have to set up the old mini again and pull everything back in that way?
