Did you try this one.

I found it unreliable.. but other people is ok.
I did have it but I wasn't sure if it was workin or not because I couldn't find a way to physically access the backups to see if they are bein backed up. And because time machine was off I couldn't see that way. I tried turning time machine and accessing but it only showed the last physical backup with timemachine. Did I miss something? You you run timemachine editor?
Just a thought, when I went into launchdaemon to look and edit that com.apple.backup... and didn't see it,I did see a different yet similar text that referred to timemachine editor app. I trashed it because I uninstalled the app.
Hello Oilfield Dan:
This will change your TIme Capsule backup intervals:
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 14400 To every four hours. My issue is that when I run this it won't change it.. Still does it every hour.. Do you have any thoughts on WHY this will not change... Even with reboots, resets, poweroff. UNIX should do what you tell it but this is not working. I do not want to use the GUI Time Capsule interval changer. I want to have total control. Does anyone know???? THANK YOU.
