Hope this is OK here, I know some subscribers use Macs.

I have a Mac Mini M1 with Ventura on it.

Just been into it after some months and there is a massive list of notifications relating to the Time Machine down the right side. Googled
how to close them all at once - click on date then the three dot menu.
Guess what covers up the date menu when you click on it?

Anyway I want to look at the settings for the Time Machine but as far as I
can see I can only change the frequency of backups or add another TM.

How do I get into the full settings please? It's using my QNAP NAS but
from all those messages does seem happy.

Is there anything similar for Windows instead of my scheduled backups?

Just to clarify now I can see things:
No menu appears when I click on the time just "Adjust Widgets".
The second option on the TM menu is to add/exclude something.

That is the full settings. What more do you need than destination(s), >exclusions and frequency? On a laptop you'd see a "backup on battery?"
option too.

I want to edit the settings or have the opportunity to do so, i.e. change
the NAS or the directory.

TM notifications are usually "It's been ages since TM did a successful
backup" so will go away as soon as you do a successful backup. If they
weren't that, you could mention what they were?

Thankfully the idiots have managed to fix this in Sonoma beta. Two
years! Mad.

Yeah, presumably that's an out of date web page you googled, for
notifications the ... menu only appears *with* the notifications in the
widgets column, so if you've dismissed them there's nothing.

Remove the old target, add the new target.
