In previous version of OSX, I was able to view the results of past Time Machine backup jobs thus:
sudo syslog -F '$Time $Message' -k Sender com.apple.backupd
Now syslog is no longer part of the operating system. It has been replaced by "log."
I have failed to find info about time machine jobs using "log." I have also failed using (the new version of) console.
Any suggestions?
