Very helpful app

I love having the ability to schedule TimeMachine backups —mine is set for once a day. It’s nice not to have to slow down once an hour or whatever time machine scheduled & fight for a hard discs attention

I use Backup Scheduler together w/ the app. “Amphetamine"… which allows me to set schedules for how long my Mac is awake, asleep, or shut down. I can still back up to TimeMachine anytime I want — but now -my machine is scheduled to back up between 2-3:00 AM every day —when I’m done w/ it for sure…it backs up the selected drives & folders —and then shuts everything down until 9:30 AM —when it reboots. So everything is back & running as I left it when I step into my office.

I like the app. I’ve had no conflicts w/ it on a 2009 MAcPro running MacOS X - El Capitan 10.11.4

heywho about Backup Scheduler: Time Editor
