... the perfect Tool to customize when you want Time Machine to backup your data. Be it based on dynamic times (every 5 minutes to every week), idle based (when you haven't worked on the computer for 1 minute to 60 minutes), or based on fixed times (for example every day at 5:00 pm).

- backup time interval customizable from 15 minutes to 1 week

- optionally activate backups only when computer is idle for specified time period

- create backup when time interval is reached and/or the computer is idle for specified time

- optionally create backup at fixed times (for example every day at 05:00 pm just when you finish your daily work).

- start app automatically at login

- complete replacement for Time Machine Toolbar Item. You don't need to have both items in the toolbar because iScheduleTimeMachine does all Time Machine Toolbar does and more!

- displays backup status: running, mounting volume, finishing, idle, etc...

- displays backup progress in percent, number of files copied and data copied (Megabytes)

- can open Time Machine's restore view right from the Toolbar Menu

- shows date/time when last backup was initiated

- shows date/time when next backup will be initiated

- keeps track of backup statistic

- can show files and data (Megabytes) copied at last backup and in total

- shows backup destination info like Volume Name, Type (Network or Local), Path and ID

- optimized for minimal memory/cpu footprint

VERY IMPORTANT: In order for iScheduleTimeMachine to work as intended it is necessary to disable Time Machine in the System Settings!
