10.5: A warning about Time Machine and battery power
Authored by: bomielke on Jan 08, '08 11:35:01PM

Well, it makes sense to me to not backup if on battery power. Battery life is already short enough without having to spend more on transferring files to the TM disk.

However, has anyone else noticed that Time Machine backups will wake your mac from sleep and do the backup? It's been happening with my MBP and cannot figure out how to turn that off. There's no reason to run a backup more than once if the notebook is on sleep.

That's a bug and should be reported to Apple via their feeback link.
