[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1809677, member: 396914"] Two thoughts: 1) Don't shut down the Mac every night or day, just leave it running and let it go into sleep. The power usage is minimal and the system will do some maintenance while inactive. Then to wake it, just tap the space bar and it should come back awake in seconds. 2) Leave the TM drive attached and it will do it's thing to keep your backups automatically. No need to unplug or eject it. Particularly if you follow #1. [/QUOTE]
