Description

I would like to see more configuration options per backup location.
Such as recurring monthly, weekly, and daily backup and allow the user to specify the time and day for those.

Currently you can only configure global settings and can only choose between weekends and daily. Also weekends is vague, what day of the weekend will this happen? It should be more specific.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing global scheduling settings and how backup locations are configured. Define the per-location recurrence choices, time and day selection, and precise weekend behavior; done should mean each location can use its own explicit schedule and the behavior is covered by the project's relevant tests.
