Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The problem is that Timeshift usually starts creating the snapshot aproximatelly one hour after I login. During all the process, the computer is almost unusable, and that affects to my work.

Describe the solution you'd like Possibility to have a configuration in the UI to choose when you want Timeshift to start execution

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried to modify manually /etc/cron.d/timeshift-hourly file, to indicate a fixed hour to be executed (for instance at 14:30 that I'm having a lunch), but after rebooting it changes to default value.
