backing up time machine

blueflash

I want to install sav but am running Time Machine and am a bit nervous after reading other posts in this forum about the interaction of sav and time machine.

I would like to make a backup or copy of the time machine backups I already have before installing sav.

Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

I am running a macbook pro with the latest version of snow leopard.

    I was trying to copy the backup from and external hard drive to the macbook hard drive.

    Is the external hard drive, the Time Machine destination that you're imaging, normal Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format?

    Looking in Google, "Unable to create … (Operation not supported)" seems to be a fairly generic error. 

    If Disk Utility doesn't work as expected in this situation, then try the link in the earlier message 

    Can I have "dual" backups? Or back up my Backups?
