Not sure what you want to do. So I'll just say what I do.

I have been disappinted by TM a couple of times in the last five years.
It has 'forgotten' many months and months of backups on three occasions
for no discernible reasons.

So now I use an external HD, partitioned. In one partition I let TM
continue, while I use SuperDuper to backup by HD to the other partition
... excepting a number of large folders that I dont feel I need to
backup.
