Add chron time schedule for backups #156

Open hamcoremusic opened 10 months ago

hamcoremusic commented 10 months ago

I would love to be able to actually schedule a time rather than just an interval between backups. Is this currently possible?

itzg commented 10 months ago

I would recommend setting up a normal cron job and have it use the backup now option described here:

Okay I see! Disabling the built in timer should just be setting it to -1 correct?

The "now" argument will instruct it to run one time only, so effectively disabling the timer.
