Getting email bounces from recipients you never sent anything to? It's not new, but it's still tremendously annoying.
At last, a utility that lets you ask the question: Exactly what was copied during that last Time Machine backup? Right now, it's a command-line tool and its feature set is still in flux, but don't let that stop you.
