Time Machine keeps not only old copies of files, but also deleted files. If I copy the latest backup, will presumably get the files that were in place at that time. Is there a way I can also merge in any deleted files? (I would not want old versions of files that are there, only the files that were not there at the last backup) Thank you very much!! > On Feb 10, 2013, at 8:12 PM, Jeff Weinberger <j...@jeffweinberger.com> wrote: > >> Is there a way to "restore" the latest backup from this time machine to a >> disk image or a folder, so that the result is that the disk image or folder >> has the latest-backed-up contents of the old system? > > > ----------------------------------------------- > There are only three kinds of stress; your basic nuclear stress, cooking > stress, and A$$hole stress.
