I have a portable hard drive with Time Machine backups from Computer "A"
which I no longer own. There's some data on there I'd like to get and
put on Computer "B" which is the one I now use.

Can this be done?

Of course. Niggly details: encryption?

I take it you want to do this *without* using Migration Assistant?

you don't. time machine backups are finder readable so you can connect
the drive and find the relevant files, or tell time machine about the
drive and use its ui.

You don't need Migration Assistant just to recover a few files. You can
mount the volume on the Mac, then navigate to the folder within the
"latest" backup to copy whatever you need. It should be pretty
straight-forward.

Detail: Did you set a separate PW for the TM?

IAC: mount and move. Via TM in your case.

It's a common TLA for "in any case".

Let's ask ChatGTP...

Result {{{

Yes, you can restore Time Machine backups from a portable hard drive to
a different computer. Here are the steps you can follow:

- Connect the portable hard drive to Computer "B".
- Open Time Machine on Computer "B".
- Locate the backup you want to restore from on the portable hard drive.
- Use Time Machine to restore the files and folders you need to Computer
"B".

Please note that restoring Time Machine backups from a different
computer may have some limitations or issues, such as missing files or
compatibility issues. It's recommended to check the Apple's official
documentation for more information. }}}

I'll score that a C. It left out issues such as passwords/encryption,
and punted with the "check apple docs" out.

Human beings were created by water to transport it uphill.
