Limiting Time machine backups to out of hours

Following discussions it was decided to limit time machine to only backup out of hours to limit the network traffic.

  • The Time Machine service has been disabled as standard on the servers
  • An ARD task has been scheduled to run at 7pm which turns this service back on -Send Unix Command  - run as root - 'tmutil enable' 
  • An ARD task has been scheduled to run at 7am which turns this service back on  - Send Unix Command  - run as root - 'tmutil disable'
