I never have more than one snapshot, usually one taken right as TME fires up Time Machine to make a backup. If all you want is a backup every week or so, turn off TM by the unchecking of the "Back Up Automatically" box and invoke TM from the top menu bar or Dock when you want to make a backup. That will stop the snapshots. You will lose all of the interim changes between backups using that method and any file that is created and deleted between backups won't be saved either. But yo won't have snapshots every hour.</p></blockquote><p></p>
