10.5: Reconnect Time Machine backup after drive swap
I forgot to add: The "hinted" solution probably also works on a file copy of a partition, not just on a block copy. I have not tried that one out myself, but from the way things work it is conceivable that even a file-copied partition could be re-connected which would certainly not work otherwise.

10.5: Reconnect Time Machine backup after drive swap
I just did a file copy of a partition using Carbon Copy Cloner, and the new partition received a new UUID, so I used the hint above. It seems to have worked -- the first backup size is only 60.7MB, after maybe 25 minutes of "preparing". The backup is running now, although it seems to be going quite slowly; after about 10 minutes, 5.5MB has been backed up. Hopefully things will be faster the next time around....

Update to my previous post: subsequent backups seem to run at normal speed.
