Thank  you, Lee.

I'm now keeping Time machine off while using the computer.

Then, instead of shutting down, I klik computer preferences/Time machine,
turn it on and back up.

When I return, I turn it off.

I would not even try to use Time Machine with a PPC Mac way too slow a machine for that type of back up.

This is not necessarily so. I use Time Machine on a 2 GHz G5 machine all the time with no problems. I would stay away from it, if the backup drive is USB, but it should be all right to a network or FireWire drive. I've even used it with a PowerBook G4 and a network drive and don't recall too much of a problem most of the time.
