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.
