# Given two supposedly identical Time Machine volumes, run the timedog
# script on each backup (e.g. 2008-02-19-005705) in both volumes and
# compare the output to determine that they are indeed truly identical.
#
# Usage: sudo timediff.sh /usr/local/bin/timedog \
#              /Volume/OldBackup/Backups.backupdb/hostname \
#              /Volume/NewBackup/Backups.backupdb/hostname
#
# You must supply the path to the timedog script as the first argument
# to this script, and the paths to the old and new Time Machine volumes,
# including the host name of the backups to compare. Run the 'hostname'
# command in the Terminal to get the name of your machine.
#
# Typically must be run with sudo to visit certain directories, otherwise
# you will get false negatives.
