Hi Tim, thanks for your answer. Kawal, yes my MBP will be off the mains and I shut it down when not in use. I was just simply wondering when we use Bluetooth or wi-fi these technolagys do drain battery power more when in use. So knowing that I just wondered if leaving Time Machine on would also drain the battery more like the above two technologies.
I hope that now makes more sense. Sorry if you don’t understand what I mean.
