Description

To be actually useful we need Nitrokey/nextbox-daemon#22 first,
still all of the following are independent:

  • allow saving a "scheduled backup location" (only existing for now)
  • once a "scheduled backup location" is set, allow setting backup interval (drop-down? free?)
  • add and realize: jobs.ScheduledBackupJob

Research direction

Start by checking the prerequisite Nitrokey/nextbox-daemon#22, then inspect the existing backup-location handling and the jobs.ScheduledBackupJob entry point. Define how an existing device or directory is saved, how the backup interval is selected, and what scheduling behavior is expected. Done means a saved location can be configured with an interval and the scheduled job runs backups there.
