Thanks, Dave! It's working now and looks good so far. You're right about the 20 minutes -- looks like more than an hour (there are about a million files, which was a surprise to me -- I had never looked in detail at the Time Machine volume).
Tidbit: To get the external drive to start up (upon plugging in, its front panel light would flash briefly and nothing else would happen) I tried giving a rotational bump (nothing), then heating it to about 120°F (nothing), and then cooling it to about 50°F (worked!). This is a nine year-old Western Digital MyBook (which had often been a little quirky on startup, but this seemed like a hardware failure -- wouldn't spin up). |
