Hi Gary,

That depends on what Time Machine settings. (They're aren't many.)

Just to turn ON and OFF Time Machine basically.

I believe 'on/off' and the backup interval are all changeable by script,
without any use for the GUI.


Use 'defaults write' or other Plist editing tool.

How? I don't really know how to do that (I'm new to Applescript).

(We recently had a brief mention of this, specifically about chaning the
Time Machine backup interval. Check the archives. Search "Time Machine".)

I've searched on the archives of this lists and the apple script studio one but I haven't found anything about Time Machine and scripts.


Can you help me?

Thanks a lot,

Mathieu Thouvenin

No, I actually do other things than that, like changing the settings
of Time Machine, and for that, there's no other way than that using
the GUI :(
