The only other things I can think of are the quicksilver and spotlight, which keep on indexing files in my mac. Is there a way to know what are the files being backed up in the most recent update? What is expected backup file size assuming the system is in an idle state? Thanks |

There is no such thing as an 'inactive' boot volume, really, regardless of the number of applications you're currently running. There's no 'expected' backup size, really.

But then, is there a way to know what are the files being backed up in the most recent update? As for the sandbox.. is it able to run it over the internet (network drive mapping). |

Not really, no: you could try tracking all I/O with fs_usage if you'd like, but it's not going to prove terribly useful.
You can't use a Sandbox over a network, no.

So that means there is only one retrievable copy at all time? Even if I do multiple scheduled updates setup so i backup every 2 hours? I did not want to be mean here but I just want to know how exactly everything works. i apologize for any offense

I don't understand this question. Could you rephrase?

For some PC backup softwares, for example "PC b***up Pro", I can schedule hourly backup, and I can go back to each different backups to retrieve the version of a file I would like to restore.
For example, I have the hourly backup setup, and I've been editing a word file since 8 this morning. If i want to restore that word file, I can restore the 8 am version, 9 am version, 10 am version and 11 am version. In superduper, I found out that I can also setup the hourly backup using combination of daily update schedules. But I am wondering since all the backup schedules are running on a same sparse image, does that mean there can be only one retrievable version of a file (the very last backup)? |
