Time Machine - Date (and time) of last data added.

This was originally raised July 2015 and with the new release of OS 6.6.1 thought it was worth bringing up again.

There was no response whatsoever to the original post and it was closed for lack of it (1387 views).

I would like to have easily available the date (and time) that data was last added to the Time Machine section of the Ready NAS.
Preferentially this could be Emailed automatically every week, but failing that just getting the info will be a good starting point.
I currently have 2 Time Machine areas set up for (at present) 2 MAC books, but this will increase.
At this moment in time (see comment below) using SSH is the only way.

I believe that a useful facility for the RNOS is an addition of a 'last updated' date to the OS, as well as the current 'Name', 'Allocation' and 'Consumed'.
Any comments on this.

Hi BaJohn,

Thanks for the link. Have you posted it on our Idea Exchange? Garnering kudos from that board should let our development team be aware that this feature is needed by customers.

The previous link was on a different board.

Regards,

Hi BaJohn,

Do you still have the link to it?

Was it posted on the Idea Exchange for ReadyNAS?
