Change Leopard's Time Machine schedule

Leopard's helpful backup tool, Time Machine, backs up your Mac every hour by default. However, that schedule may not suit your lifestyle. TimeMachineEditor is an application that allows you to configure a different interval for your backups. We like the granularity with which you can set Time Machine: "Once a day" (choose the hour), "Once a week" (choose the day and hour), "Once a month" (choose day of month and hour).

Time Machine is a godsend for those of us who don't backup as often as we should. However, Apple didn't offer many configuration options for Time Machine. TimeMachineEditor gives you some of this missing control.
