Hi, sorry for my unclear question…

as far as I can say, the TimeMachine.backup data is intact (wouldn't know until I tried… wouldn't I). Is there a way to copy that data from one volume to another, then reformatting the drive and copying it back? I have been able to copy all the other data via Finder onto other volume(s) even though only the folders could be seen, not their content, Finder did display size information (get-info). Because of the special type of data in TimeMachine-backup I am hesitant to do the same (copying via Finder).
