The software TimeMachineScheduler which allows changing the frequency of backups using Time Machine is now at version 2.1.
This new version provides compatibility with network volumes and the Time Capsule.
We hope that in the coming releases Mac OS X we will be able to configure Time Machine more precisely.
It would be desirable that we not only determine the frequency of backups, but more importantly can set in advance a maximum size of the backup. That would be a real plus - Time Capsule's discs can not be partitioned.
