when the TM migrating data will not fit

[zoran]

I want to use my TMachine backup to migrate/transfer files i had in my iMac using 2ssds (1TB and 500GB) to my Mac Mini that only has a 250GB ssd. What are my options cause obviously the data from the 2 ssds will not fit.

Get a larger drive.
Get TWO larger drives.

Two drives? That makes three in total… where am I gonna put them?

Get an external 2TB SSD, like Samsung T5 or T7

In my TM backup, ssd1 has the system files and a few personal files. ssd2 is filed only with professional files.
When i make the TM migration, is it possible to select to transfer only the files from ssd1 and not ssd2?

Which mini do you have? Is it the Late 2009 that you have been recently posting about?
Replace the internal drive with a larger SSD. If you need a lot of space, 2 TB is pretty easy to find (but a bit costly to upgrade a 2009... )
