Organize Time Machine logs with Time Machine Buddy
Time Machine Buddy is a free Mac application developed by Bluedog that allows you to organize and monitor your Time Machine backups. With this handy widget, you can follow your backups in real time and gain insight into the technical information behind them.
Once installed, Time Machine Buddy sits in your Dashboard and remains inactive until you launch Time Machine. When you open Time Machine Buddy, it displays all the backup logs from Time Machine, providing you with a clear overview of what is being saved. While the information in the logs may initially seem like a jumble of words, with a closer look, you can decipher what is being backed up.
Time Machine Buddy automatically logs backups every 15 minutes, and you can manually refresh it to ensure you have the latest information. By displaying the full logs, Time Machine Buddy serves as a valuable companion to Apple's backup program.
Overall, Time Machine Buddy is a useful tool for those who want more visibility into their Time Machine backups and want to better understand the technical details of their backups.
