I can't look into it in detail right now, but as far as I know the "every two days" part is currently impossible. You can set the schedule to real-world time with:
config.advancedbackups.frequency.uptime=false
And schedule it for 5am with:
config.advancedbackups.frequency.schedule=5:00
But as far as I know there's no way to skip a day.
@HeatherComputer could be worth looking at using the standardized (and infinitely flexible) cron syntax for backup schedules in the future.
There are technically the min and max frequency options, which could somewhat create the desired effect - but otherwise yeah, the current scheduling can't skip a day.

Cron syntax is definitely an option, but I had seen too many people struggling to understand it and that's why I chose not to go with it. Perhaps it could be implemented as an optional feature..?
Thanks for the answers! I was able to configure the backup to occur every day at 5pm as you said
Thinking of this more during my temporary access to my main pc, cron syntax would pair really nicely with the profiles plan..
Hi @HeatherComputer, how can i only take a backup of my server at 5am every two days? I'm having trouble to set the correct ranges in the config file. Glad if u can help me...
