[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1637450"] The default for TM has always been once an hour. The first would be a full backup, all the others are incremental. Then TM prunes away the hourly backups and as the backup gets older it goes to one backup saved for each day, then one for each week. Their idea is that if you are working on something and lose it, you can get more availability of more recent files, but for older backups, you don't need that granularity. I use TimeMachineEditor to cut the default back to just twice a day, noon and midnight. Nothing I'm doing needs more than that and the slowdown I saw on the machine every hour as TM kicked in was annoying. [/QUOTE]
