10.5: Disable the 'use this disk?' Time Machine dialog
Authored by: baltwo on Jan 18, '08 08:08:57PM

Nice find, but more details on where you found the DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup key would be more enlightening. A search of ADC's site for it comes up empty.

BTW, your command won't work, since the TM plist isn't in ~/Library/Preferences/—at least it isn't on my machine with TM turned off. You need to include the correct path:

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool YES

I posted this a few weeks ago on our site.

As with any preference like this I would strongly recommend it be deployed with policy so that you don't need to touch every mac.
