restore from intel macbook pro to newer one

[D.G.]

You should be able to migrate from a full back up just as you would the actual machine.

So if you had both machines, you might boot up the old one in target mode and connect it to the new machine via firewire to migrate. This is the old machine acting just like a firewire drive.

Without the machine, you would just connect the backup to the new machine to migrate.

Note: I've not actually done this, but I believe the theory is correct.
