[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1183961, member: 83420"] Dear quarkrad In a way, you are grieving over nothing and making life difficult for yourself. (Sincerely no offence). The concept behind Time Machine (TM) is that it takes the strain and you forget about it. As McBie says, TM backs up by default. Let it, is my view. The suggestions above get round the question of "what if TM hasn't scheduled a back up because my project took 40 minutes and then I shut down". Easy - last thing you do when finished is Click on TM icon in Toolbar at top of screen. On the dropdown menu, Click "Back Up Now". When the icon has stopped turning anticlockwise, it's done. Equally, and as well if you want, repeat the process each time you start up. And then forget about it. Personally, I keep TM in the "on" position all the time; but others may turn it off and on according to need. One more thing to remember. Good luck. Ian [/QUOTE]
