BackupLoupe

BackupLoupe helps you analyze the time and space used by Apple's Time Machine facility and gives you greater control over the backup process. It can quickly identify the items which take up the most space. Its history feature shows how many versions of an item are available and when they were saved, as well as allowing quick navigation between versions. Drag and drop can be used to restore items to any location. Backed up items can be revealed in the Finder. File types are instantly identified. Files can be previewed and opened. Items can be excluded from future backups without opening Time Machine's preferences. Multiple Time Machine disks can be handled, as can backups in non-standard locations.

Release Notes: This release added in-place restore and support for MobileBackup (Lion). An issue with snapshots that appeared as 'Not scanned yet' after scanning was fixed. Should Time Machine create or remove snapshots while BackupLoupe is running, the program will update its list of snapshots accordingly (on Lion). The "Show/Hide History" menu item now correctly reflects the state of the history drawer. An issue where multiple instances of BackupLoupeScanner were started was fixed. Support for PPC was restored.
