There are associated questions right here, however many are dated and none appears to fairly cowl my state of affairs.
I’ve an early 2015 MacBook Professional that has been saved as updated as potential, presently working 12.6.7. The file system is case delicate. I’ve all the time used Time Machine to again it up; apparently TM all the time makes use of case delicate file system.
The 2015 machine is dying as a result of an increasing battery. So, I’ve a brand new MacBook Professional. I fired it up, plugged within the TM drive and it complained that the brand new machine was case insensitive however the backup was case delicate. Fantastic. Launched the brand new machine into restoration mode, erased the drive and reformatted as case delicate. Then put in Ventura, which apparently transformed the drive to case insensitive, as making an attempt to make use of the TM backup gave the identical error.
The previous machine exhibits the next:

This data appears affordable, it is the fashionable APFS system and case delicate as I anticipated.
Now, on the brand new machine, boot into restoration mode, erase and format to AFPS (Case-sensitive), restart, activate mac, reboots again into restoration mode, reinstall macOS Ventura, reply the questions, skipping something I can, then
diskutil data disk3s1
and see that its identify is “Untitled – Knowledge” and it’s formatted case insensitive!
I attempted to reformat through
diskutil eraseVolume APFSX "Untitled - Knowledge" disk3s1
however this fails as a result of launchd
is working on this quantity.
On the lookout for assist getting this TM backup onto the brand new machine in a case delicate method.
