I find that the difference was because I renamed two albums so you can see that the same albums are shown as having been copied during this backup, as well as having been deleted.
You can see that on my Music disk, 35 files were removed I drill down in the folder structure to see which files those were. Backup Loupe indicates deleted files by a red number in parentheses. When you run Backup Loupe, and scan a backup, it takes a while to compare all the files to the previous backup, and you can then examine the differences. (To show deletions, you need to enable Track Deleted items in the app’s Scanner preferences.) This app can scan every Time Machine backup you have, and show you which files were added and which were deleted from each backup. To do this, get soma-zone’s $10 Backup Loupe. So you can go back through the history of your files and potentially find a file that was deleted six months ago, and restore an older copy. Unlike a standard backup, where a utility copies all your files to an external drive, adding changed files and removing deleted files, Time Machine keeps older files even after they’ve been deleted. However, if you use Time Machine to back up your media, there is a way to see what has been deleted during each backup.įirst, let me point out how important Time Machine is for backing up files. There’s no log in iTunes recording what you add and what you delete, no way to look back at previous versions of your library to compare it with the present. This said, you might be worried about your iTunes library, especially if you have a lot of music. I had always assumed that this was due to user error, and that may be the case. I occasionally get anecdotal reports from users who say that a single file or an album, has disappeared, but I’ve never been able to offer any answer as to why that may be happening. Apple has told us that iTunes can delete music files “in an extremely small number of cases,” leading many iTunes users wondering if any of their files have gone missing.
