 * First off, thanks again for such a great product!
 * Currently we are able to instruct the plugin what time to take the daily backups(
   e.g. define( ‘HMBKP_DAILY_SCHEDULE_TIME’, ’07:30′ );).
 * What would be great would be to also be able to specify that we don’t need daily
   backups – every third day or once a week is fine. This would enable us to keep
   a much longer date range without the required filespace. For example, if I want
   to be able to roll back a month, I currently have to save 30 daily backups ..
   but I could save just 5 weekly backups with the same end result.
 * Thanks for your consideration!

 * I have been working on this feature and I have a development version. It hasn’t
   been tested that much so there may be some bugs. If you email me directly at 
   [support@humanmade.co.uk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-backupwordpress-feature-request-schedule-backups/support@humanmade.co.uk?output_format=md)
   then I can send it to you.
