I have a folder of 100 .jpg images on my desktop. The entire folder and contents are copied by TimeMachine to my external HD. A month from now I work in the folder on the desktop and end up deleting 50 of the .jpg files. The altered folder (now with 50 image files) is copied in backup to the external HD, where it will reside in case I need to copy those files back to my desktop at some point.
Question: what happens to the copy of original folder with 100 image files in it? Does it continue to reside in its original form on the ext. drive or is it replaced by the back copy of the folder as revised on the desktop? Do both versions of the folder happily continue to reside (in different locations) on the backup drive?
Thank you!
