I need to do a complete hard drive restore from Time Machine. I looked at google but the information that I saw is for when the main system drive fails.
The situation I have is my main system drive is running perfectly but a 2nd drive, a data drive, failed. Both the system drive and data drive were backed up by Time Machine.
I already contacted Seagate to do an RMA exchange so I want to be prepared when my new drive arrives. How can I use Time Machine to restore the data to the new drive once it arrives?
Thank you for your help.

That should cover it for you. I don't think you'll need to do anything "special". You should be able to just use the time machine application to get all of your data back.

If you have trouble, be sure to check the section in the above article titled "Restoring data from an unavailable disk (when multiple disks are used)". I don't think that's going to apply to you, but I've never personally done what you're attempting.

Thank you. I'll give that a try
