Backup Atlas

Backup Atlas is a Time Machine backup viewing and monitoring tool for macOS.

It can directly read existing backups and help users understand file changes and recover content still saved in backups through a change timeline, file search, and version comparison. The main interface displays the time of the most recent backup, changes from a week of backups, and recently deleted and modified documents. It also merges and displays changes from projects or batch imports to reduce browsing clutter. Backup Atlas Users can view file version history, compare text and code line by line, view images and common office documents side by side, and then restore the required version to a specified folder; files with the same name will be renamed to avoid overwriting. The menu bar monitoring can alert users to overdue backups, inaccessible disks, repeated failures, or stalls, and the desktop widget displays the status synchronously. The software will also alert users to the risk that the last backup copy of some deleted documents or those only stored in iCloud will be deleted. Backup Atlas All indexes and records are stored locally, backups are accessed in read-only mode, and it is compatible with NAS, USB, and Thunderbolt backup disks. It supports Apple chips and Intel Macs, requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later, and requires full disk access permissions.
