- 10.5: How to pull Time Capsule data for dead drives
-
My secondary hard drive died suddenly and wouldn't mount. I figured this wouldn't be a problem since I have Time Machine backing up to a Time Capsule. So I fired up Time Machine, but I can't browse to my second hard drive since it does not exist on my computer. Even if the drive was on my computer and malfunctioning, Time Machine would try to restore data to that same faulty drive. So, what to do?Mount the disk image stored in Time Capsule (skip the verification), browse to the most recent date, and there you'll see a folder for every hard drive on your system. You can recover your data from there and put it in any available drive. view original article
