1088 TimeMachineEditor is a utility for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard that lets you change the default one-hour backup interval of Time Machine.

You can change the interval or decide to make a backup once a day, once a week or once a month.

This is useful if you don't need to backup every hour and don't want the performance penalty. This is also especially usefull if you manipulate lots of data within one hour as you would spend the whole day backing up.

TimeMachineEditor merely updates a system configuration file to change the Time Machine scheduling.

Nothing is installed in your system and you can easily revert back to the default settings (using the 'Show Default Settings' menu item from the 'Settings' menu).

Once you have changed the scheduling, you can still use the Time Machine preference pane from "System Preferences" as you did before. However the next backup date in the Time Machine preference pane may not be correct, this is just the user interface not being aware of the new scheduling and can be ignored without risk.
TimeMachineEditor is free software. Use at your own risk.
