Q: How can I see Time Machine activity in Console with macOS Sierra.
In OS X I simply typed "backupd" in Console-search box.
Now it seems more complicated.

John Galt and chuckosmund both solved my question.
By copying this command line (from John Galt) in Terminal I can view TM-history-logs to a couple days back;
log show --predicate 'subsystem == "com.apple.TimeMachine"' --info | grep 'upd: (' | cut -c 1-19,140-999
This command line also gives information of a running TM “on the fly”, but after TM stops copying I have to put in the command line again when TM starts up for a new copy (I can live with that…)
By copying this command line (from chockosmund) in Terminal I can view what TM is ding on the fly, but don’t get history-logs;
log stream --style syslog --predicate 'senderImagePath contains[cd] "TimeMachine"' --info
This command line makes that Terminal constantly shows new TM-logs.
Thank you John Galt and chuckosmund!

PS
Oh… And I don’t use Sophos and my Time Machine is working fine after some difficulties.
... not so for many for Sophos-users…
For Malware-detection I use “Malwarebytes” (a small free app) once and a while, - sufficient of me….
