You need to:

  - make sure $Conf{WakeupSchedule} wakes up the server at least as
    often as you want backups to occur (the default is every hour).

  - set $Conf{FullPeriod} and/or $Conf{IncrPeriod} to any floating-point
    number in days.  To avoid rounding errors, set them to slightly less
    (specifically, half the wakeup period) than the desired period
    ($Conf{WakeupSchedule} provides the required granularity).
    
    For example, with the default $Conf{WakeupSchedule}, this will do a
    full backup every 6 hours and an incremental every hour:

        $Conf{FullPeriod} = 0.23;
        $Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.03;
