I use this:

changed my back up time to once every 3 hours
Suggest you turn off the backup when disks are mounted/computer wakes
from sleep options.... and I did find it needed a restart to kick in
the changed times

G'day All,
I am experiencing some issues with the backing up from Time Machine
to my Time Capsule. Currently running a Powerbook G4 and an iMac
1.8GHz G5 with Version 10.5.5 on both and both are wireless
networked via Time Capsule.
Simply put when Time Machine kicks in for both machines every hour
it slows everything down and what is most frustrating, it in
particular seems to affect the download speed from the internet.
I am with Westnet and have talked to them.... we have conducted
"ping" tests and everything is OK with the line so it is certainly
something to do with my set up. What is interesting is that when I
plug the ethernet cable from my Time Capsule back into either
machine direct then the download speed automatically increases even
when Time Machine is not backing up, which suggests there is a
wireless issue with my Time Capsule. It was suggested that possibly
my home phone which runs on 5.8GHz could be interfering with the
wireless network, but I have moved it out of my office completely
and it has made little or no difference as far as I can see.
I really don't need to back up every hour as my machines are more
for "domestic" use rather than business.... can I get Time Machine
to just backup once per day and preferably then at a certain time
when I am not likely to be using the net? Is there something I need
to change on the configuration maybe on either to reduce the slowing
down of my machines when the back up is running?
Thanks for any input in advance,
David
