possible to copy a time machine back up ?


i've been using portable hard drive time machine can travel it. since i've run out of space on , i'm traveling less want use server time machine up- i'm not anticipating problems setting up.

apple care tells me cannot copy old time machine file (the 1 on portable hard drive) other drive if want free portable hard drive other uses. in other words once time machine file ends on disc forever remain on disc , thou shalt "forfeit" old ups if want use drive/disc else in future.

sound accurate- tricks saving data when outgrow ol' time machine drive ?

any/all feedback appreciated !! erica
 

use carboncopycloner or superduper make 1:1 copy drive.

btw, using tm via network result in backup method, tm stores content in 1 file, while backup via usb or firewire uses folder , subfolders.
