You can set the schedule to run as often as you like, but the
underlying tools are going to have to traverse the whole directory
tree to find the touched files, which you probably don't want to
happen while you are working. Apple makes their time machine work
efficiently by using their own file system that propagates timestamp
changes up the directory tree so it can ignore whole inactive
branches. The easy way to get this facility is to do your work on a
Mac.
