The goal here is to keep the schedule at the same time of day.
With an hourly WakeupSchedule, 6.97 is a full week, minues a
few minutes, which will tend to keep the backup at the same
hour each week.
If you use 7 (exactly a week) it is likely that the backup will slip
an hour. For example, if the WakeupSchedule includes 1pm, and the
last full backup started at 1pm plus a few seconds, then this week
at 1pm if BackupPC_dump starts a few second earlier, then the
difference is just less than 7.0, so the full won't happen that
hour.

You should do 29.97. That will be every 30 days, not exactly
monthly but close enough.
