TOMQ   Just Great! Allows me to completely review every Time Machine backup and then block unnecessary/unwanted files from being backed up using the Time Machine preference pane, saving space (and time) on my backup drives/volumes. (Could also use the BackupLoupe blocking option, but I like to use TM.) Color coding for different size files/folders is wonderful! Very well laid out structures to see exactly what is happening with TM backups. Trivially easy to use. Solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.

DANA SUTTON  I started using Time Machine when it first came out, and I've always wanted some way of seeing logs so as I could understand what it's actually doing. So I'm very glad indeed to have this utility available. I have only one problem -- the author charges 0.90 Euros (using Paypal) and I'm afraid the cost of currency conversion might turn out to be more than the cost of the software. I've written to him suggesting that he charge his American customers $1.00 instead.

ANONYMOUS  Dana, I'll emailed you already. Thanks for your support! Just in case someone else want's to know too: In case of currency conversion, I'll be charged an extra 0.02€. So non-EU customers pay the same as the ones in good old europe. Cheers!

CHARTIER  Is another ~40¢ on a $1 application really that big of a deal? C'mon, these are iPhone software prices, and while BackupLoupe may be one-trick-pony-ish, this really seems like a non-issue.

Interesting app. I do believe I'll try it.
