macos - Time Machine Single File Restore after System Reinstall


Is it possible to restore a single file (e.g. my Aperture library) from a Time Machine backup when I reinstall the OS?


I want a fresh install and not restore the whole system from backup.



Answer



Sure, you can access your Time Machine backups, they're just files and folders.


Look in Backups.backupdb/Latest/ on the destination disk for a copy of your disk contents. Just copy the files you want to keep over to your system disk.
