restoring from time machine backup

Good day everyone,


I am planning to restore my computer from a time machine backup as i'm experiencing some issues. but I wanted to confirm, if i restore from an older back up, will the most recent backups still be available afterward. I'm planning on restoring from an older backup to fix my OS, but i'm planning to use the most recent backup to copy a video collection to which I have added new videos recently. I'm using macOS Mojave.


Thanks for your help.

Yes—will not effect your backup.
