Hello,

What is the most reliable way to detect in code if a mounted volume is the Time 
Machine disk?
Currently I'm using the following code (also to detect a Boot Camp volume):

- (Boolean)isNotSearchable:(NSString *)volumePath
{

NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
        
        NSString *timemachine = [volumePath 
stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Backups.backupdb"];
        NSString *winSystem = [volumePath 
stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"MSDOS.SYS"];
        
        if ([fm fileExistsAtPath:timemachine]) return YES;
        if ([fm fileExistsAtPath:winSystem]) return YES;
        
        return NO;
}

This works fine on my system. Will this code work reliably on my user's 
systems? Is there a better way?
The same question can apply for iDisk and iCloud, probably.

The reason I need to know is that I have a function using FSCatalogSearch where 
I definitely don't want to access these type of volumes.

Thanks!
