I cannot find out how to examine one of my backup drives and determine what is being backed up?
Apple says:
Update: I've finally sorted it out. They mean option click Time machine icon BEFORE you open it, from the menu bar of the computer. I was opening it first then looking for a menu while in Time Machine. However I still find the process of determining what has been backed up a little confusing. Still working on it. If I backup the Users folder does that do everything that I have created, (e.g. docs, music, photos) but not the operating system and Apps?

- If you back up to multiple disks, you can press and hold the Option key, then choose Browse Other Backup Disks from the Time Machine menu.
