DeltaMac Tech Jun 1, 2010 #2 Full backups don't run every hour. That's just the standard interval, and only changed items are backed up. I doubt you would ever notice that it even runs, as it normally only takes a few seconds. Here's an article with one method to change that interval, if you like: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/12/08/terminal-tip-change-time-machine-backup-interval/ There's also a few utilities that can adjust the Time Machine settings: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33757
