Browse Other Time Machine disks…
One cool feature in Time Machine is that you can right click on the Time Machine Backup icon and browse other disks that were used for Time Machine Backups. For example, let’s assume you have a desktop Macintosh computer with an external drive connected to it that you use for Time Machine Backups and you want to restore data from that drive to your Macbook. Simply connect the external drive to your Macbook and browse that disk. You will be able to perform a native restore as if you were connected to your desktop machine.
