Product Description:

Have you ever wondered, why Apple's TimeMachine takes so long to backup your files? Where all that free space on your backup drive went?

BackupLoupe provides a convenient way to browse your backups and identify files/folders whose contents changes frequently. Often, those items are temporary files or cache folders which need not be backed up in the first place. You may consider excluding them from TimeMachine backups and save valuable disk space.

The QuickView panel, that you know and love from Leopard's Finder, helps you seperating important stuff from garbage.

BackupLoupe currently works only with local TimeMachine backups. Support for remote disks (e.g. TimeCapsule) will follow shortly.

What's new in this version:

  • PPC and Intel support
  • improved stability
  • caching of scan results
See release notes for details.

BackupLoupe Troubleshooting ReportIsn't working for me - Version: 1.8.2, 11/5/2009 12:03AM PST

Jason!
I have a March 2009 iMac running 10.6.1. I turned on Time Machine and made a partial backup on my Time Capsule today. I then installed BackupLoupe (latest version) and it says "Could not find any backups." This remains true even though I have the Time Capsule drive mounted! I then went to the prefs in BackupLoupe and specified the direct path to my Time Capsule (where the *.sparsebundle is saved). Even then BackupLoupe cannot find it! I even tried unticking the "Use default TimeMachine locations, but to no avail.

What do I do to fix this?
