I have turned on "automatic backups" using Déjà Dup:

Automatic backups control screenshot

How often will Déjà Dup make a backup now? Is it once a day? The help documentation doesn't say.

Silly, me, I missed this option under the "Schedule" tab:

How often to backup setting screenshot

You can set it to either daily or weekly.

If those two options are not what you want, you can set it to a specific number of days by modifying a Dconf setting. For example, to modify it to two weeks, run:

gsettings set org.gnome.DejaDup periodic-period 14

You can also edit this setting with dconf-editor, the setting is found in the tree path /org/gnome/deja-dup.

  • It will choose its own hour and time. You can't control its scheduling finer than the day. Jan 30, 2013 at 15:32
