Time Machine does not create a bootable backup, although you can use it to
restore all your files in case of a disaster requiring a complete nuke and pave

I find the easiest way is to turn the automatic backups off. Set it so the

Hi Felix
With OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, Time Machine does not run hourly when
I put the iMac to sleep from the Apple menu. But Time Machine runs
hourly whenever I allow my iMac to put itself to sleep, say for the
night, simply contributing to the wear on the external hard drive. Is
there a way
I am looking for a Time Machine scheduler which can run a backup upon
Shut Down and upon putting the Mac to sleep from the Apple menu. Does
such a thing exist?
It appears that neither TimeMachineEditor nor TimeMachineScheduler can
do this.
Many Thanks,
Al Poulin

Thank you Dan, and Bruce too, for the feedback. I'll probably check
in again some time after the next OS X comes out. Actually, I asked
because the topic came up in the ReunionTalk forum. For the good
folks there, Time Machine seems to have improved over time.

Well, it's a notebook drive, the enclosure is smaller then a 3.5 HD. So I'm not
sure how a fan would fit... maybe one of those tiny little Pismo fans, I have
an extra one of those. I'll have to try that, thanks for the suggestion. Photos
would be nice. :)

I should add that this one also kept mysteriously turning 'Read-Only'

I think my backup drive that I've been using as a TM drive (An Iomega eGo
drive) screwed up something in my main hard drive's system; I have the problem
where my boot partition shows up as EFI boot in firmware, and recently,
whenever it was plugged in, I would have strange problems that cleared
in that fashion. Time Machine itself is
a file-level program, and so can only access volumes, not devices,
mucking about with the boot partition is a device-level thing.
