When I last restored from Time Machine it allowed me to select which folders I wanted to restore. Then I could just restore the most important bits and leave anything big behind on the backup drive to restore manually later.

- submeta 2y agoI only was offered to select top level folders. Nothing below them.
- hmottestad 2y agoDid you try to reinstall the mac and use migration assistant to restore from the Time Machine backup?
- submeta 2y agoYes I did. But the time machine backup was way larger than my macbook‘s ssd. The reason was this: I had only 600-700 gb of data on my Mac. Installed OneDrive, did not know that I had configured my NAS to do 800gb of cloud backups to OneDrive. And Time Machine downloaded that data into its backup. Although I had configured OneDrive not to download that folder to my Mac. So time Machine screwed up.
