How to get Time Machine on a Mac to work
I've only recently started using Time Machine and have an external drive. What is the correct way to get Time Machine to do a periodic backup when I want it to all happen in the background whilst I sleep and shut the lid of my mac book air? Do I just plug in the USB cable or do I have to do something before I shut the screen?
