Whenever you add or change anything on your Mac, Time Machine will back it up automatically, assuming of course you selected Back Up Automatically in its Preferences. It does that every hour.
In other words, no. Just turn Time Machine on and forget about it. That's how it's designed to work. If you do anything at all, you might want to click the Time Machine icon in the Mac's menu bar once in a while to make sure its last backup was recently created. If TM's most last backup was sometime today or yesterday, I'm happy. If a long time transpires (ten days) and TM was unable to back up for whatever reason, it will let you know.
