#Timemachineeditor not working install

Went back to a clean install of 10.6.8, with 14.1.0, 4.0.2 onto a new Seagate Momentus XT 500GB (ST95005620AS) updated to firmware SD28. The issues I imagine were unrelated to Time Machine.

#Timemachineeditor not working verification

docx files kept turning corrupt, drive verification kept reporting errors (that i didn't write down and can't remember now), iTunes songs kept skipping half way through, amongst others. Will report back at some point as to how the system is behaving.ĮDIT (Update 5 days later): Was experiencing serious issues with Word 2011 (14.1.3), EndNote X4 (4.0.2), Lion (10.7.2) and my 1.5-year-old after market hard drive (Load Cycle Count reporting at just over 502,000). Just changed StartInterval in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ from 3600 to 172800. I've since had to do a clean install of 10.7 and didn't want to mess around with the plist file, in the hopes that I could fine a less intrusive option.

When I was running 10.6 I had used the plist method and it was working well.

Long and short, I don't think there is a solution, and this is an example of Apple Culture in not providing more comprehensive options (which in the bigger picture is actually good, but frustrating when using a slower machine over a wireless network every hour). I would be very happy with 3 hourly backups!!! I did try once with Snow Leopard over a year ago with the Plist option, but never got it to work. Have you tried the option with the Plist file? (But once again, even if it works you will only get local snapshots at the new interval you set). Time Machine does, and so it will not backup automatically if I am not connect to mains power. But Time Machine must be turned on.Īnother reason that I have stopped using TimeMachine Editor is that it does not have an option to respect battery power. If you're not connected to a network or your back up disk, then it will just run a snapshot locally. It actually creates local snapshots (as disk space allows) while doing the hourly backup. Time Machine needs to be turned on in order to create the local timeshots, and it does this as one job. There is no way that I know of using Time Machine editor (or any other external tool) with local snapshots. Since installing TimeMachineEditor, backups seem to no longer be made (on the local drive) unless the external drive is plugged in.Īnyone found a way to change the Time Machine backup interval in Lion that does not prevent local backups from being made when the Time Machine drive is not available? Before installing TimeMachineEditor, Time Machine indeed did this every hour so that at any point I could enter Time Machine and browse the backup history, even when my external drive housing the backups wasn't plugged in - Time Machine would show me only what was backed up locally on my system. However, Lion's Time Machine is further capable of backing up the system on the local drive (given there is enough space on it) when the Time Machine drive (in my case an external WD drive) is not available/plugged in it then transfers these local backups to the external drive the next time that drive becomes available. I have TimeMachineEditor set to run Time Machine once every 24 hours and that indeed is what it does. TimeMachineEditor is working really well in that it is preventing Time Machine from running every hour. TimeMachineEditor seems to be working really well on my MacBook running 10.7.2 so far (2 days).ĮDIT (Update on day 8): Seems like I spoke too soon.
