TimeMachineScheduler Allows Better Interval Control


Stefan Klieme has announced the immediate availability of
TimeMachineScheduler. It can override Time Machineis default
interval setting of one hour and set it to from one to 12 hours.

Leopardis Time Machine has a default backup interval of 1 hour, and
thatis not adjustable by the user even if the launchd.plist is altered. TimeMachineScheduler replaces the default launchd agent and provides a GUI option to set the interval with more latitude.

“TimeMachineScheduler disables the automatic backup funktion of Time Machine and installs its own launchd agent. As the agent is located in the main library, the administrator password is required for all (writing) operations. Except disabling Time Machine no further system files and preferences will be touched by TimeMachineScheduler,” Mr.
Klieme said.
