I want to use our corporate CrashPlan backup in order to transfer files from my current (backed up) laptop to the replacement one. This just seems easier and more correct procedure than attaching an external drive and copying tens of gigs of data. The new laptop has the CP installed and sees my backup, so this should not be a problem. Except, I cleaned up the old computer before the procedure, freeing many gigs of space. The removed folders are still showing up in CP, that's ok. But I don't see how to indicate in Restore not to take them?

I know I'm looking at a non-standard use of the backup software, but if a computer crashes and a replacement is prepared, it seems a basic requirement to restore the most recent state. Unless, a "restore most recent versions" implies that deleted files are not restored.
