iMac 21.5", OS X 10.6.4.

My Time Machine drive was disconnected for a few days and when I
reconnected it, the next backup was scheduled 55 minutes in the future.
I wanted to force a backup immediately-- but don't see a way to do that.

What am I missing?

If you have the time machine icon in your menubar, click on it, and
select "Back up now".
