How do I set the backup save time

Can I set the backup frequency and retention time?
Can I use time machine to back up to a network drive AND to time capsule?

Can I set the backup frequency and retention time?
Not with Apple software.
Time Machine Editor will allow you to schedule backups whenever you like, but there is no option to set retention time.
You might want to take a look, but I am not necessarily recommending it.
TimeMachineEditor - Time Software - Free
Can I use time machine to back up to a network drive AND to time capsule?
Well, a Time Capsule is a network drive. You can normally backup your Mac to other network drives using Time Machine providing that the drives have been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
I would recommend that you check with the drive manufacturer to see if they support Time Machine on their drives.
If you are running the Mountain Lion operating system and select both the Time Capsule and another network drive to receive Time Machine backups, Time Machine will alternate backups to disks automatically.
How Time Machine Editor would affect this is open to question. I haven't tried this.

  • How can I set the default save format for photoshop edited photos?

    I just spotted that some of my photos that I've edited in Photoshop from Lightroom are a whopping 450MB. Looking deeper I found that they are saved as uncompressed TIFF files, this despite the default save format for Photoshop in Lightroom's preferences being set to ZIP compressed TIFF files. So why doesn't this setting work and how can I make Photoshop save things compressed?

    Sounds funny but first tell us what version of PS you have, what version of Lr and which OS. Thanks.

  • How do you set the time period on IMAP email accounts (razr maxx)

    Hi Guys -
    Does anyone know how you can set the time period that the stock email will keep the already downloaded messages for IMAP email accounts?
    Mine never seems to show more than a couple of days worth at a time. I'd ideally like to be able to see at least 2 weeks worth of messages without needing to download them again!
    On other phones I've had there was a setting in the menu, but either I can't find it...or it's not there. I've found the setting for how OFTEN it checks the accounts, but not the setting I am seeking.
    Your help is appreciated!
    Best Wishes for the Holiday Season.
    -Rich

    Hey Rich.  Once in 'settings,' there should be a "days to sync' under the 'data usage' section.   You don't have that?

    How do you set a default alert time in my calendar so I don't have to set it every time?

    Go iCal Preferences/General and click the default alert tick box at the bottom. You can then adjust the amount of minutes before the event for the alarm. NB. ticking the tickbox means you get an alarm for every entry.

    How can I do this?
    -Jim

    That is great, Steven. I also found a solution using GetSystemTime and SetSystemTime which are functions in kernel32.dll that get and set the system date-time. This function call worked on the FP-2000 that I have and should work on RT-Embeded systes, as well.

  • I have photoshop CS4. How do I set the it to save my photos as CMYK "Uncoated" US Swop?

    I have Photoshop CS4. How do I set it to save my photos as CMYK Uncoated US Swop for newsprint on a webpress. I can't find the proper setting, only coated.

    It's usually in Edit > Color Settings and next to CMYK Workspace.  As I understand it, depending on the Printing company, they would just ask for the file as Adobe RGB and handle the conversion to their offset press. Is this how they want you to prepare your photos?

  • How to set the video's time?

    there is a control named VideoPlayer (not VideoDisplay), and it has a porperty named currentTime which is ReadOnly, so I can only read the time! but how can I set the time.
    for example, when I press one button, I need the video play from 3min, How to?
    thanks!

    A funciton like this should help
                private function jump():void
                    vp.seek(50);
    vp being the name of the videoplayer and (50) being the time you want to jump to in seconds

  • How do I set the Time of Day that a sync will occur?

    Like a lot of Aussies I have an ISP plan that has Peak/Off-Peak hours. What I want to do is have my iTunes do all it's sync/podcast updates at a certain time (say 4AM) when I'm not doing anything else, it's taken from my Off-Peak monthly usage total and leaving me both free bandwidth and Peak time capacity for the month.
    I notice I can set my Podcast updates to check daily, but how does one set the time of the day?

    I believe that when it has attempted to download (or actually downloaded) it automatically schedules the next attempt after the time period. To make it execute your downloads at 4AM, get up at 4AM once and force it to check for downloads, it should schedule the next attempt at 4AM the next day, then the following, etc.
    I would schedule the first download early in the offpeak hours so that if there is any drift in the time, it wouldn.t run into the peak hours.
