How to make the Leopard Time Machine run the backup right now.
1. Run Terminal from the Utilities folder.
2. Type /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle
/Contents/Resources/backupd-helper &
The ampersand at the end runs the backup in the background.
Alternately, you can right-click/control click on the Time Machine icon in the dock and click Back Up Now.
