you're *always* encouraged to file enhancement requests, but it's worth noting that there are reasons (some of which are fairly esoteric) that the raw volume UUID list tracked by each destination isn't something that is appropriate for most non-TM software to use. there may be better solutions that can be exposed for a particular set of needs, so if you do file a bug make sure you include a detailed use case so the Time Machine team can think about the request in the right way. -- michael (formerly time machine and still cares about your backups) _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
