Description

Description
Currently, nc-backup-auto sets up backups to run at 3am. It would be nice to enable users to set the hour for the backups from the web UI.

Research direction

The issue identifies nc-backup-auto and the web UI but names no files or tests. Start by locating the nc-backup-auto scheduling entry point and the related web UI settings, then determine how the backup hour can be exposed as a user-configurable value. Done means users can set the backup hour from the web UI and backups run at that hour.
