title: Applescript to trigger Time Machine in Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
body: <p>I've used the following bit of Applescript for years to trigger Time Machine from within an Applescript. It no longer seems to work in Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Anyone know of a solution or alternative. This script runs and does not throw any error messages. It simply does nothing.</p>
  
  <pre><code>do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/backupd-helper &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1 &amp;"
  </code></pre>
