Re: Time Machine Helpers

Yup, it probably would be a useful thing in third part apps, but  
unfortunately there is no public API to do this.


(There is a way to do this using private APIs that you could find  
online, but I would not recommend it and it is of course off topic to  
discuss here)


If you want an API for this in 10.6, please file a bug report.

I did a little digging, and found that Mail has an application  
called MailTimeMachineHelper inside it's bundle, but I don't see  
this bundle referenced under Info.plist or anything that would tell  
Time Machine to load this app.


Is there a key I have to add? Is this functionality hard-coded into  
Time Machine and only available in the iApps? Is this possible at  
all, because apple doesn't seem to have any documentation on it, and  
it seems like a useful thing to have in third party apps.
