[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1793492, member: 204485"] I'm sure that TM's persistence is part of Apple's strategy to encourage people to backup, not a bad thing in my mind. Nowadays any new EHD's connected to my MBP illicit an offer from TM to use as a backup. Make sure your EHD is not listed in TM preferences and that automatic backup is untucked. You are right about notifications, TM does not appear in the notification panel Prefs so you can't turn that off. I have found one exception though. If the EHD you are using for Super Duper has never been used for TM and you say no when you first format it in Disk Utility it will not ask again. This suggests that TM somehow remembers the EHD. Personally I tackled the problem by doing a time Machine backup on a spare EHD, leave Auto Backups turned off (to prevent hourly snapshots) and using Time Machine Scheduler to set weekly backups.
