The beta version (furture 1.0) you can configure the time for daily (or less) backups.

This is because the job uses the @daily marker in your crontab. If you want to set a time, you can manually edit your crontab and set a time.

crontab -e

And change
@daily
to
55 15 * * *
to set the backup for eg 3:55 pm.

However do some research on this before trying it. You may have to struggle with vi!

I agree this is a good feature to set in the next version.

Can you help with this problem?
