Hi Doug,
Thanks for the information about hard drives and the Time Capsule.

Hmmm! On my iMac, 'System' translates as 'Macintosh HD'.
Here, the file <com.apple.backupd-auto.plist> does not exist, but one could
easily be created with the content
<key>StartInterval</key>
<integer>86400</integer>
which should yield a 24 hour backup. Any one tried that?
