What's the best way to merge the data from two Macs?
My main machine was an iMac. I backed it up twice (Time Machine and a second cloned copy with SuperDuper) and wiped it ready to sell. But whilst I was saving to buy a MacBook, I started using it again. So now I have 100GB of data which I want to copy over to my MacBook via an external HD.
Should I clone the iMac onto the HD? Or just drag and drop the Home folder from the iMac to the external HD? I want to keep the permissions/settings on the laptop.
Help, pls!
