[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1907530, member: 396914"] It does. But the search isn't likely to be that hard. Find where the file is on your current drive, then with Finder there, Enter Time Machine. The Finder-like image there may well be in that same folder already, but if it's not, navigate to that same place and start going back through the history. The good news is that the total number you have to check will be relatively small. Just 24 for the last day, then 30 more for the last month, and then just 52 each year. So not thousands. And you want just the size, to get to the largest. So before you Enter TM, get what you want to see in the folder in your internal drive and when you Enter TM, those same options should be in the Finder-like presentation of TM. Given you just need to check size, looking for the largest, it shouldn't be that arduous. A few minutes, maybe 30, tops. if you scroll at one every 5 seconds, that's 12 in a minute. You have about 150 copies to check, so let's call that 15 minutes. PITA but not hours of study... [/QUOTE]
