TimeMachineEditor is a software for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard that lets you change the default one-hour backup interval of Time Machine.

You can change the interval or create a more sophisticated scheduling.

This is useful if you don’t need to backup every hour and don’t want the performance penalty. This is also especially useful if you manipulate lots of data within one hour as you would spend the whole day backing up.

TimeMachineEditor does not modify existing system files at all (unlike versions prior to 2.5). Instead it handles its own scheduling to trigger Time Machine backups when you want them to occur.

TimeMachineEditor also has its own ON / OFF switch that lets you enable / disable automatic backups.

Now that I am back running Time Machine on my iMac I am looking at ways to set up my back ups in a way that works best for my workflow. In years gone by, I used a little third-party App to schedule Time Machine. I did some searching in the App Store and online and found TimeMachineEditor. This is a neat little App that allows you to schedule Time Machine back ups the way you want. It is currently supported, and it is free.1 Here is how it works.

I downloaded TimeMachineEditor from an online third-party Developer. It is free and it is currently supported. Here is the main window of TimeMachineEditor.

There are several settings for you to experiment with. Keep in mind after you have the App set to your preferences, you have to click the “Apply” button for it to take effect.

One of the settings is how you want the overall back up to work. Mine is set to Interval.

If you use the Interval setting, you have to setup the “Back up every” setting. Mine is set to 1 hour.

You can set it to once a day or once a week if you wish.

One of my favorite settings in TimeMachineEditor is “Do not back up from”. I really do not need my iMac to back up while I am sleep. As you can see my iMac is set to not back up from 12 am to 6 am.

You can tell Time Machine to create local snapshots if you wish. There are some Advance Settings.

I have not done much with these, but you could try them out.

There is one last thing you need to know. When you click the Apply button, TimeMachineEditor asks you to go into the Time Machine system preferences and disable “Back Up Automatically”.

That is because TimeMachineEditor is controlling your back ups, not the Time Machine system preference.

Conclusion

If you are using Time Machine and are satisfied with its default settings, then just leave it alone. If you would like to adjust Time Machine’s settings to fit your needs, then TimeMachineEditor is a great way to do that.
