Make a backup

If you want T2M2 to tell Time Machine to make a backup now, click on the Back up now button at the top right of the window.

This uses a better way of making the backup than using the Time Machine menu command of Back Up Now . If you use that instead, it will be shown in T2M2’s report as being a manual backup. When T2M2 makes the backup, it is run as if it were an automatic backup.

Your next backup will still start at its normal time.

When making a backup, you can still Check Time Machine , but until it completes, T2M2 will give an amber warning because a backup is still in progress. It is best to wait until that backup has been completed before using Check Time Machine .

This is particularly useful if you discover that no backups have been made for some time, as it allows you to make one immediately, and when that is complete you can check it for errors using Check Time Machine .
