Latest revision as of 17:57, 9 June 2015

Time Machine is great, but... running it as often as it does by default is not okay with me. Others might have the need, i am just not one of them.

Because of this, i was searching for an easy, effective and free solution to making Time Machine run on my command / schedule. And of course such a tool is avilable ;-)

Meet TimeMachineEditor :-)

Key features

Its easy.
Its effective.
Its free.

Read more about it at the website.

HOWEVER - Now that i might have your attention - remember that you have NO real backup before you bring it physically out of your building.

To do this in a super easy (and free) way, i recommend CrashPlan and a good friend / relative with the same need to backup "out of house".
