Thread: Control the Time Machine

If you're frustrated that Time Machine slows down your Mac every time you start it (and again once every hour when it's taking a snapshot), take heart and look outside the Apple orchard for help. First, download third-party widget Red Flag. which lets you keep track of when Time Machine has done a backup and when it's going to run the next one. Then get TimeMachin eScheduler.This app lets you edit your Time Machine backup more easily and more completely than Time Machine's own scheduler.
