“groovy mother...”

Command line tool for interrogating and diffing Time Machine backups.

Handy “Time Machine” menu bar icon which Apple removed from the released version of Leopard. (Make sure and read the installation instructions in the comments)

Wow, I hadn’t noticed this had gone.

Digging deeper, it appears that you can only use Time Machine to backup to network drives shared using “Apple File Protocol”, rather than the more common SMB. Glad I have my Drobo hooked up to a Mac Mini, because that’s one of the main reasons I bought it.

Most of the Apple stuff announced today was fairly unexciting. Nice improvements, but not revolutionary. But this, their constantly rolling system backup looks brilliant. The UI, if it works as advertised, is genius too.
