Hi there direct copying like that wouldn’t work
What you can do however is to format the new drive , then go to your system settings and turn off time machine just temporarily until the whole transfer is done , so after you’ve turned it off open finder, navigate to your Time Machine drive , look for the backups folder in there and then copy it , open your new drive and paste it in there
Then if you want you can goto Time Machine settings in your system preferences and then set the new drive as a new backup destination
