Version: 3.11
I should have licence BackupLoupe years earlier. It helps me a lot to catalogue the Time Machine saves in different external hard drives and NAS folders. It is an easy way to find the right backup drive to recover a certain file without having it attached. And BackupLoupe is really helpful to understand why an increment is so huge.

BackupLoupe, it really whips the Lama's ass.
What apple failed to implement (restore data from an external media constantly attached to the device) BackupLoupe compensated well.

Version: 3.1
The files from an MacBook Air were lost due to liquid came onto the keyboard and ran into the interior of the computer and ”killed” it. The files on the SSD were back'd-up on Time Machine. My problem was the file ending change from .sparsebundle on High Sierra to .backupbundle on Catalina (OS for the MacBook Air). On my desktop Mac on High Sierra I could not access the backup from Catalina. Thanks to your BackupLoupe tool I have been able to recover them.

BackupLoupe has been indispensable for tracking what Time Machine has been backing up. It has shown why my Time Machine backup drive has been filling quickly.

Installed the trial. Three levels on the trial does not seem sufficient to evaluate the product. But anyway Time Machine would not backup thereafter, so uninstalled.
