Backup Time Machine Now

	This script will make Time Machine perform an incremental backup as if you were
	to either let it run on schedule or select the menulet from the menu bar.

	------------ Type `man tmutil` for all the options ------------ This should be
	run as root to work corrcty, which will make it much harder to run from a
	launcher or from a keyboard launcher, as they are not directy set up to accept
	user input.

	Below is the `readme.md` that I made to go with these files, though it is
	probebly no longer needed given this is so simple I am merely making a `gist`
