Hi,
I set up Time machine to start taking backups and so far the backups have been taken as expected. Today I wanted to test the restore feature and deliberately deleted one of my documents from the Documents folder. I then did a spotlight search and clicked the time machine icon. I was able to navigate to the time when this doc was last backed up. I then clicked restore, it came back to my finder and asked for my password. I entered my password (which is admin) but the file did not get restored to the original location. Instead i think it created another backup in the backup drive.
What am i doing wrong here? Please help.
Regards,
Sourav
