I did that,but here’s the deal,which it occured to my brain afterwards, I don’t
backup somethings. If something is in my home group say, and if it’s like a
media source,it gets moved to another drive that does not get backed up via TM.
So it occured to me that the folder to which i moved something to,is not
working cause its not under the backup process.
If for example say I dl a movie,when that will be in my downloads folder of my
homegroup temporarily and then I move it to that external I mentioned,so the
purpose of this was to not have all this media on my mac hogging up space. If
during a download occurs while backup is in progress say,then yeah that would
be backed up,which is why I was in my downloads folder knowing that whatever I
was seeking first went there.
I’m probably not making sense but that’s how I do it with all items downloaded,
and some not,just cause of saving purposes. but items in folders of the home
group get backed up every hour.
Just not everything that was there for short time might not be backed up,so
then am I just out of luck then?

You need to know where you backed up the file or folder first.
Then go to that folder and open it

I still need some help here or at least more clearification as to where I can
get this to work,its frustrating.
I’m confused when it tells me to open the folder where the file is or was
backed up to,so that might be some of my issues here.
Does it want me to open a folder within my home group? or does it want me to
look for a folder from the sidebar of backups?
I went that route or tried to this morning through the backup volume and found
how to get furthur back in the date by interacting with it and allowing finder
to catch up lol But here is where I came uncertain as to what to do, I had
opened the backup volume first,then interacted with sidebar and found like the
download folder, then I opened TM,did the vo/f2,f2 twice and chose the tm
controls,or maybe i said that backwards cause I got to the date thingy and the
previous button and interacted with it and went all the way back to my last or
oldest backup which is March 2018,but all I needed to look is in November
2019,however I wasn’t sure what to do from that point in time after locating
the date/year say then I seem to be lost cause I didn’t find any folder of the
items I needed to restore or copy.
I must have messed up somewhere and I was getting nervous being in backup in
first place so I closed it all out,which is why I am writing and asking for
help please!
I am still using Mojave.
thanks for any help,
