[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1196411, member: 24160"] Just ran a test here. Created a new folder - put the contents of another folder in it - did a TM backup - deleted the new folder and emptied the trash - opened Time Machine - highlighted the folder - clicked restore - and it restored the folder and all 426 items within the folder. edit: I was in list view in the TM backup vs column view - though I doubt that should make a difference. edit 2: yep, just did the same from column view, highlighting the folder only and it still restored the folder and all contents. edit 3: are you opening the TM backup within Finder or are you using the 'Enter Time Machine' function from the shortcut menu of Time Machine on the menu bar?
