A strange problem with backups that start, but fail to complete successfully, apparently because of duplicate filenames. T2M2 to the rescue, bringing some important lessons.
T2M2
Now places its report in a scrolling text view, has extensive Help book, and more. The only tool for checking that Time Machine backups are being made properly.
Two minor improvements to make its use even easier. Now a final release candidate?
When scheduled backups become irregular or stop, this affects much more than just Time Machine. This is what happens, and why you must restart.
Each report on your Time Machine backups now comes with a detailed timestamp in this new version.
Conventional log analysis gets precious little from Sierra’s unified log. Automated analysis has much greater potential. Will Apple head in this direction too?
This completes the intended feature-set for the first release version: T2M2 can now make better backups too.
Adds a new set of analyses to discover the underlying cause of infrequent and irregular automatic backups.
You can back up multiple volumes to multiple backups. Here’s how and why you might do these things.
And the most important fix: the colours of the traffic light indicator are better.
