View the Time Machine system logs with ease using this software.
With the Time Machine Buddy, one can quickly determine what is happening with the current backup or any previous backups. The software widget automatically checks the system logs for backups every 15 minutes. When a backup is active, it will check for logs every 5 seconds until it is completed. Moreover, if the user closes the Dashboard, all polling activities automatically cease.
The software provides a refresh button that prompts manual refreshing of the logs through a mouse-click. The Time Machine Buddy only acts as a log reader and is designed not to disrupt or interfere with Time Machine's functionality.
However, the software has a known issue of displaying multiple manual backups in the same message window if triggered one after the other. This loophole may cause some confusion, but it does not affect the backup process in any way.
Overall, the Time Machine Buddy is a robust and efficient software tool that offers exceptional management of system logs for Time Machine's backup feature. Its simplicity and ease-of-use are vital qualities that make it an ideal widget for monitoring the status of backups on a Mac OS X Leopard device.
