I have a new MBA and I want to use Time Machine with it.

I have setup MarcoPolo (www.symonds.id.au/marcopolo) to mount all my file shares while connected to a specified Wifi Access Point (my home router).

What I am trying to do is have it toggle Time Machine on or off based on whether I am home or not. Since this isn't an option directly in MarcPolo I assume I'll need to use Automator to do it. Problem is I don't see any actions related to Time Machine in Automator... and I have no understanding how to write AppleScripts either. So basically I want two simple 'actions'. One to turn it on, one to turn it off. I can use MarcoPolo to call either action based on it's own criteria. Is this possible?
