Hey Dan, I did what you suggested with the combo box.
I realised that if you have the schedule per include folder then the cron job is set to the most frequent option; thus if one folder should backup daily at 17:00 and another every 10 minutes the cron job will be every 10 minutes. Because of this I want to adjust the _is_auto_backup_needed method to factor in the backup hour, however, this depends on information from _get_last_snapshot_info which seems to look for an info file in ~/.share/local/backintime/snapshot.last; but this file doesn't get created on my system. Can you let me know how information about the last run of a snapshot is stored so I can reference it to determine if a folder should be backed up? If someone is expecting a folder to be backed up at 5pm I don't want to back it up the first thing in the morning, because they may depending on that backup to do a restore at 5:30pm for a file they changed during that day.
