Finally a usable Time Machine user interface

What is BackupLoupe?

With BackupLoupe you are able to answer questions like

  • Why is Time Machine so slow?
  • Why is my Time Machine drive already full?
  • Which files are actually being backed up?
  • Has a particular file/folder been backed up at all?
  • How many revisions of a file/folder exist in Time Machine?
  • A file/folder was deleted accidentally. When did this happen and where is the latest backup?
  • Is my backup drive big enough? Should I consider buying a larger one? And if yes, when?

In addition BackupLoupe provides intuitive ways to restore any item backed up by Time Machine to any location or exclude directories from future backups.

Features:

  • Quickly identify the items which take up the most space
  • History: Show how many versions of an item are available and when they were saved; Quick navigation between versions
  • Integration with other applications via System Services: Click on an item in Finder to find all its revisions
  • Drag&Drop restore items to any location
  • Finder / Path Finder integration (Reveal, Info)
  • QuickLook support
  • Support for Growl notifications; Automatically receive notifications about unusually small/large snapshots
  • Provides extensive statistics about backups
  • Instant identification of file type while browsing
  • Open files directly without restoring them first
  • Find function, which works without the backup drive being connected
  • Browse backups while the backup device is not connected
  • Exclude items from future backups on the fly (without opening TM preferences)
  • Handles multiple Time Machine disks
  • Handles backups in non-standard locations
