errandwolfe Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Does anyone think they could make a widget that will monitor the status of Time Machine and display when the last backup occured? I was amazed when I googled this and found nothing, it seems like such a useful widget to have if for nothing more then piece of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyel Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hi Errandwolf: I'm not running Leopard yet (still running Tiger) but this sounds like a great idea for a widget. I'm sure that many Leopard users would find this widget invaluable. --danyel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbic Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 We'd have to figure out where the Time Machine prefpane is pulling its "last backup" stat from, and then go from there. This intrigues me, even though I have next to no widget-programming experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 It would also be neat to have a "backup now" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Marvin Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hmm, I've been having a dig through Time Machine and I still can't find anything that tells you what the values are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thePixeler Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hmm, I've been having a dig through Time Machine and I still can't find anything that tells you what the values are... Me too. I know how to start a TM backup, but not how to find out the last time it was ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighmac Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 This is a good idea, I just need an hd to use with time machine. I'm thinking about buying a g4 and putting leo server & a couple of sata drives in it, hook it all up with my cisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
