Comment (by l2dy):

 Replying to [comment:7 ryandesign]:
 > I worked on transferring the earlier OS versions first because
 reinstalling earlier OS versions is more difficult. (Installer
 certificates expire, making OS and Xcode installation more tedious.) If
 the old SSD failed completely at some point during the recovery process, I
 wanted to have the difficult-to-restore OS versions done via cloning and
 leave the easy-to-restore OS versions to be done by Time Machine.
 Fortunately the old SSD hasn't failed completely yet and is still letting
 me read most data so hopefully I can do the 10.15 restore by cloning as
 well.

 Thanks for the explanation and your hard work recovering everything. Is it
 possible to slim down the VM images and make a backup of that? Some extra
 storage would save you from such tedious work. SSD failures would
 eventually happen again after all.
