Time Machine is a great backup tool, but one of the frustrating aspects is that there is no really obvious way to have it back up at a time other than the regularly scheduled intervals. You can’t just double click on the volume on the desktop or even tell it to back up through it’s System Preferences pane. I finally found a way to make Time Machine back up on command a little while ago, and it is surprisingly simple.
All you need to do is place a Time Machine shortcut in the dock. I had removed the Time Machine icon from my dock long ago, because for the rare times I launch Time Machine, a quick Quicksilver command is enough, I don’t need it taking up my Dock space. To create the alias in the dock, you can drag-and-drop the application file from the Applications folder over to the dock. Then, simply 
on the icon and select “Back Up Now.”
