I would love to see more time interval choices in the GUI for backups.

We have a number of VM's which do need to be backed up, but not every week. Cron can certainly manage intervals such as every second week or month etc. Doing relatively static VM's every week is a waste of resources and combined with the maximum backups limitation gives a higher chance of not having a backup of the VM before it got broken.

I presume that I "could" go and edit the cron file manually, but that will get confusing, esp. for the less linux savvy admins.

So, not particularly urgent but it would be a welcome addition and probably not that hard to do given that all the functionality already exists in cron.

Thank you for your work so far!
