so, I decided to move my TimeMachine backups from current external hdd to the new one - bigger and hopefully faster
this article from apple mainly made the thing, just a couple of comments
1st thing was that in the article it is stated that Mac OS Extended (Journaled) should be used. in reality you should use the same format that you currently have for TimeMachine disk. for me it was Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
2nd is that you really have to plan ahead a lot of time that your computer will be busy with a task. and not just you can't take it with you... for me it was several periods of few minutes when finder took all the resources, freezing computer and not allowing to do things in parallel (formatting, preparing to copy, changing permissions). for me it took ~1/2 hour to prepare and 15 hours forecast to copy my ~0.5TB of backups. I left it overnight, so I don't know if it actually took that amount, but I believe so
good luck
