多年来，我一直使用以下 Applescript 从 Applescript 中触发 Time Machine。它似乎不再适用于 Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks。任何人都知道解决方案或替代方案。此脚本运行并且不会抛出任何错误消息。它什么都不做。
do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/backupd-helper >/dev/null 2>&1 &"

您可以在 10.7 及更高版本中使用 tmutil：
do shell script "tmutil startbackup"
-b 会阻止脚本，直到保存快照完成，因此您可以执行tmutil startbackup -b&&diskutil eject Time\ Machine 之类的操作。 -a 以类似于自动计划备份的模式执行备份。
startbackup [-a | --auto] [-b | --block] [-r | --rotation] [-d |
--destination dest_id]
Begin a backup if one is not already running.
Options:
--auto Run the backup in a mode similar to system-
scheduled backups.
--block Wait (block) until the backup is finished
before exiting.
--rotation Allow automatic destination rotation during
the backup.
--destination Perform the backup to the destination corre-
sponding to the specified ID.
The --auto option provides a supported mechanism with which to
trigger "automatic-like" backups, similar to automatic backups
that are scheduled by the system. While this is not identical to
true system-scheduled backups, it provides custom schedulers the
ability to achieve some (but not all) behavior normally exhibited
when operating in automatic mode.

tmutil 的管理员权限。所以该行将是：do shell script "tmutil startbackup" with administrator privileges - 您将被提示输入用户名和密码。
