Well, we're in agreement about the "something odd." Since I've not seen anyone else's backup log, I assumed that backup was a two-stage process. Your TM volume should be excluded (and grayed out, I think).
Also, look at system preferences>time machine>options and see what is excluded. I would try to delete the preference file () and then restart your computer.
The second Macintosh HD backup differs from the first. In your case, TM is backing up +"Bay 3"+ and +"Bay 2"+ and Macintosh HD twice. In my own case (and everyone else's that I have seen) there is only one backup created (per initiation of TM). What's going on there? Whatever it is, it happens on every backup. There are two instances where "14 files (0 bytes)" are copied. BackupLoupe is also capable to handle multiple Time Machine disks and backups stored in non-standard locations.Here's an example of my typical Time Machine backup, edited from a console log:Ģ2:56:30 Backing up to: /Volumes/TimeMachine v.1/Backups.backupdbĢ2:56:37 No pre-backup thinning needed: 1003.5 MB requested (including padding), 64.20 GB availableĢ2:56:44 Copied 14 files (0 bytes) from volume Bay 3 HPFS+.Ģ2:57:10 Copied 20 files (1.1 GB) from volume Bay 2 HPFS+.Ģ2:58:29 Copied 32091 files (1.3 GB) from volume Macintosh HD.Ģ2:58:40 No pre-backup thinning needed: 821.2 MB requested (including padding), 62.90 GB availableĢ2:58:43 Copied 14 files (0 bytes) from volume Bay 3 HPFS+.Ģ2:59:02 Copied 20 files (1.1 GB) from volume Bay 2 HPFS+.Ģ2:59:09 Copied 427 files (1.1 GB) from volume Macintosh HD.Ģ2:59:12 No post-back up thinning needed: no expired backups exist What is more, BackupLoupe helps you open files without restoring them first, browse and find files while your backup drive is not connected to your Mac.

The Find window helps you search and find files, folders and applications on your backup disk or Mac’s hard disk and filter the results according to their location and backup date. Hence, you can select a file and view all its Time Machine revisions with just a few mouse clicks. Furthermore, BackupLoupe easily integrates with various applications via the System Services. The quick navigation between the available versions helps you decide which version you need.

Time Machine revisions browserīackupLoupe is an intuitive and practical Time Machine browser that seamlessly integrates with your Mac’s Finder in order to offer you access to different backup versions of your computer.
