Also, you can edit the appropriate plist to change the backup interval. Of course, if you sleep your computer often, TM does a backup on wake. You can also do manual backups. _________________________

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 6090 Loc: Miami, Fl.	That looks very useful, but do you trust it? It seems kind of scary to just turn Time Machine off. Your not turning it off... your just changing the frequency that it backs up. I was moving around about forty GB of photos and had Time Machine fire up and start copying them. You can specify folders that you don't want backed up.... _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ As Carl Sagan put it "To make an apple pie from scratch you first have to create the universe"

Lea LoneStar Registered: 08/18/06 Posts: 10067 Loc: Texas	I have a folder on my desktop named DBU ~ for Don't Back Up, and I've set TM to ignore it. When I'm working on something huge, say an aerial map, I'll keep the files in my DBU folder, (always with a Most Recent copy in the actual Project specific folder) and just work out of it. That way I'm not backing up half a dozen copies of 75+ MB files that I'm herding into a final cut. Small potatoes, compared that what a lot of y'all do, but the principle's the same. _________________________ I always deserve it. Really.
