This occurs also, if the application of TimeMachineScheduler is running. It could happen, that the backup volume cannot be unmounted (using the automount feature).As TimeMachineScheduler works independent from the Time Machine Preferences, some information might be displayed wrong in the Preference Pane of Time Machine.
Option to skip the backup within a specified time range.Option to restrict backups to a defined network connection (WiFi/Ethernet) and over WiFi to a certain SSID.Option to hide the backup volume (to take effect a Finder relaunch is required).Automount, an option to mount and unmount the backup volume automatically (see known problems).Display the status of the daemon, of the backup volume and if the backup is currently running.Run the backup manually or automatically also at startup, login or when the daemon has been loaded.Version 3.1.4 is compatible with macOS 10.8 Mountain Lion. Version 3.1 is compatible with macOS 10.7 Lion. A simple installer is added to update older versions, install the Preference Pane or completely remove all components of TimeMachineScheduler. In version 3 the application is turned into a Preference Pane. If you want to revert to the original settings of Time Machine, just uninstall the scheduler and enable Time Machine in its Preference Pane. While a backup is running the control elements are disabled and all actions will be written into a log file (/Library/Logs/TimeMachineScheduler.log). All other settings are applied immediately. The Apply button affects only the settings interval and run at load, which are part of the launchd daemon. The status of the scheduler will be displayed. You can press a button to run a backup immediately. The interval can be set between 1 and 12 hours, and the daemon can be set to run additionally at load, which means also at startup and login. You can install and uninstall the daemon as well as only load and unload it to disable making backups temporarily. TimeMachineScheduler takes care of all files and sets owner, group and the privileges to the proper default value. There are (still) some access privileges problems in OS X 10.5 Leopard, if the operation system has been updated, migrated or installed with the archive & install option. Except disabling Time Machine no further system files and preferences will be touched by TimeMachineScheduler. As the daemon is located in the main library, the administrator password is required for all (writing) operations. TimeMachineScheduler disables the automatic backup function of Time Machine (the big slider) and installs its own launchd daemon. Apple uses an launchd daemon to control the timing, but changing the interval value in the ist file has no effect. Unfortunately the backup interval is preset constantly to one hour. In macOS 10.5 Leopard Apple has introduced Time Machine, a very convenient way to make backups.
