I use a few different external HD's to back up using TimeMachine. Is there a way for TimeMachine to alert me when it's done backing up a disk so I can switch to another disk? Thanks!

In System Preferences Time Machine, do you have this box ticked ?
Which gives you
in the top menu bar
and changes to rotating clockface
Whilst backing up

I'm shocked that Apple never provided more advanced Time Machine configuration options.

I'm not shocked about this. Much more than a big On/Off switch would probably scare too many people away from doing a backup at all.

Right, I understand that, but you could have an Advanced Options button. Not prominent, just for those who want something other than the default settings.
