I found this neat Perl program from a post on MactricksandTips.com
It can be used to summarise what files are backed up in a particular TM incremental.
It is rather commandline - that's fine for me but its not everyones cup of tea.
Anyhow I've had a look at the Perl code and it's quite neat.
Say if you wanted to summarize what files you had backed up a particular TM incremental - you could do a (setup timedog as per the above post first):
timedog -d 5 -l 2008-07-20-002027
and then it would summarize what files changed for this particular backup.
I see this as being useful for working out what changed between backups - aka a blunt form of tripwire - or a tool to work out what else you might want to exclude from your TM backups.
