Mac – Accessing Time Machine for different computer

time-machine

My hard drive died on Computer 1. Backed up to Time Machine. Am now using Computer 2.
I need some files from the desktop of Computer 1. Can I access them on Time Machine? How?
I have three computers all backing up to that time machine, but all I can see is the backups for Computer 2. How do I find Computer 1?

Best Answer

If you press the option key when clicking the time machine icon in the menu bar, you can browse backups from other computers.
