You can take control however and specify *precisely* when the Backup will execute. To do this, one has to edit the crontab entry that Backup creates. The crontab entry can be edited via use of the Terminal.app UNIX command crontab -e'. For example, to schedule the Backup to run precisely at 4am then the crontab entry would look like the following:
0 4 * * * "/Applications/Backup.app/Contents/MacOS/Backup"NOTE: Shown on two lines for a narrower dispay width; enter as one line.
-backupNow >/tmp/backuplog.0005949 2>&1
The "/tmp/backuplog.0005949" can be anything you choose. This is the command for performing a Backup-to-iDisk. I leave it to others to discover how this same operation can be done for a Backup-to-CD (CD-R or CD-RW) or Backup-to-DVD (DVD-R).
