TimeMachineEditor's only function on the iBook seems to be to make Time Machine itself inoperative while leaving it as intrusive as ever.


With Time Machine turned off as per TME instructions, and TME set to produce backups only every 12 hours, Time Machine still interrupts hourly, although for a shorter time. I haven't been pleased about that, but thought it was at least an improvement of sorts — until I discovered the reason today. Time Machine now is only faking; directed by TME, it now comes on — hourly — and makes a brief pretence of backing up, but in fact no backup is created. Nothing has been copied for a week.

TME is now gone and I'm testing TimeMachineScheduler. Like TME it has a maximum interval setting of 12 hours — I really want 24, so I can have my backups running in the middle of the night — but maybe it will at least deliver what it promises.
