Advanced Time Machine tweaks for your Mac
There is more to Time Machine than you might think. Access these advanced features and customise it
Time Machine is one of those features in macOS that you can set and forget. Plug in an external drive to provide space for your backups, turn Time Machine on, and that’s it. From now on, it backs up your files every hour, every day, and after every change.
What more could you want? Well, how about some configuration options for a start? You might not need hourly backups or you might need more. Time Machine is fixed, but there is a clever utility that can be used to adjust the backup interval. There are also many features that can be accessed from Terminal, and we will take a look at a few of these.
