Yeah we all love Time Machine….or at least the idea behind it

Unfortunaly many users do hate the dialog which pops up, each time you plug-in a new external device.

So … if you have already defined your backup-target and Time Machine is working as suppose,d there is an easy way to disable this dialog for new disks plugged into your mac.

• Open Terminal.app
• Enter:
  • defaults write com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool YES

If you want to enable this dialog again, just replace YES in the command above with a NO and done.

Hope you enjoy this hint (based on macosxhints.com)

• Mac ::: Safari 3.1 and the hidden Tabs setting
• 10.5 ::: Tune your TimeMachine a bit
• 10.5 ::: Show full directory path in Finder window title bars
