Configure a backup every X days at a specific time Is this possible in backrest?

https://serverfault.com/questions/204265/how-to-configure-cron-job-to-run-every-2-days-at-11pm In cron is supported but no via webUI

It is actually supported, just setup in your Plan the "Backup Schedule" option to "Cron" :

Yes I know but with that you can't config it every 2 days for example, because the days of the week won't be the same every week

I would suggest just allowing the cron syntax as input in the WebUI instead of having a dropdown menu for it.

Yes, this will be better so we can just enter in the syntax ourself.
