TL;DR

# Follow logs.
log stream --style 'syslog' \
  --predicate 'senderImagePath contains[cd] "TimeMachine"' \
  --info --debug

# Add or set a destination.
sudo tmutil setdestination

Follow logs

• Use stream to keep watching "tail style".
• Use --predicate to filter out only relevant logs.
• Add --style 'syslog' to print them out like syslog on Linux would.
