As the title states, I'm at a loss for what to do. I just got a 500GB Time Capsule and love it, easy back up and the wireless works better than my AT&T residential gateway wireless, BUT this backup every hour is odd to me. I get it, its for the crazy work heavy guys/girls that really need an hourly backup, but for me with a notebook, I don't think I need an hourly update.
now the plus of leaving time machine on is that I don't have to do much, BUT (and there's always a butt ;) ) sometimes when I bring the mac out of sleep, I get a warning that the last backup delayed/failed and though its scheduled for a certain time, it won't start the backup and just bumps the time back to the next hour (doesn't always happen)
now the plus of manually backing up is that when I open up the mac, I don't have to wait for a backup to complete if I want to switch profiles (my wife NEVER logs out), but I'm worried I might start to forget to do daily backups.
If you all use time machine, wether with time capsule or an external HDD, what do you all do and do any of you have the same error issues as me?
