Overview
TimeMachineEditor for Mac is a software for macOS that lets you change the default one-hour backup interval of Time Machine. You can change the interval or create more sophisticated scheduling (see screenshots below).
This is useful if you don’t need to backup every hour and don’t want the performance penalty. This is also especially useful if you manipulate lots of data within one hour as you would spend the whole day backing up.
How does it work?
TimeMachineEditor for macOS triggers Time Machine backups when it is most appropriate, the whole backup process is still handled by Time Machine. TimeMachineEditor is not a “hack”, it does not modify system files.
