But I thought the metaphor was:  go to the current location (or item) you want to restore to a previous state, use TM Starfield to find this current location in the past, restore past state of current location.

So, what if the current location wasn't in the TM backup and you wanted to restore a different location onto this current location?  Is this possible from the starfield?  I did it through direct Finder copying.

I am not talking about restoring the boot partition to a new partition, but another partition that was included in the TM Backup, e.g. a data partition called Data1 in the backup but now called Data2.

Cheers,
Ashley.
