It should be working, but might need some manual tweaking of the
settings: you might need to define the location where the file is
stored. On PC/Mac this happens automatically.

Oh, and you'll need to enable the plugin first. It's off by default on
anything but PC/Mac.

As you guessed correctly, the TM backups aren't plain files. You can't
access them.
