I recently restored a macOS installation from Time Machine. My backups excluded the Downloads folder and a few video folders with big files. I know those folders, obviously, since upon restoration they remain in the Time Machine settings, but I'm wondering if macOS keeps a log of the names of all of the files and subfolders within those excluded folders so I can hunt for those ignored files on other backup drives. Thank you!
