Hi Peter,
You can use Terminal to change the default time etc that TM backups.
If you don't wish to use a shell prompt using Terminal, there are a
couple of software that look like they would do the job.
TimeMachineEditor
<http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor/>
And TimeMachineScheduler
<http://www.klieme.com/TimeMachineScheduler.html>
Please note I have not used the above software as I prefer to use
Terminal if required.
So I suggest you check the time machine forums or google before using
either.
Cheers
Ronni

Yes, Entourage is left running all day for the usual email
correspondence that we all use, so quitting Entourage (and all other
Microsoft apps) is not really practical – the back up starts wheneve
r it likes to and maybe I could extend that to daily backups – timed
to occur at 2AM – is that possible?
Any advice on how I can escape the hang that comes when backup
overlaps use of the Microsoft apps gratefully appreciated.
Thanks for the link Ronni.

Interesting. I have Word and Excel from Office 2008 always running
but have no problems with hourly Time Machine backups (Leopard). I
do not use Entourage at all.

Hi Peter,
From Microsoft support you must quit all Microsoft Applications
before backing up.
"backing up hourly you must quit quit All Microsoft applications
(Entourage, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, My Day, Office Reminders,
Messenger) and the Microsoft Database daemon before backing up. See
article Quit all Microsoft applications before backing up"

Also, force shutting down your your MacBook is NOT recommended.

I have noticed what I believe is a bug in Entourage (Office 2008).
I have a Macbook 13” 1 month old so running Snow Leopard. I also h
ave a Time Capsule. When the hourly backup is running AND at the s
ame time I attempt to Attach a file to an email I am preparing, it
all hangs up solid. Option/Command/Escape allows me to crash Ento
urage which reports as “Not Responding” but I have only been
able to get back to ‘normal’ by a forced crash by holding down
the Power button and starting again.
This seems a bit savage but I am not aware of a more elegant
solution.
Is this a bug that anyone else has noted and any tips for elegantly
restoring the balance without savagely crashing the machine and in
turn interrupting the backup as well?
Kind Regards
Peter…
