Maybe someone will have a better method for achieving what you request, but
you can do much of that with UserCmdCheckStatus=1 and DumpPreUserCmd, where
the DumpPreUserCmd will check if it's time to start the backup, or any
other arbitrary check, and the backup will only start if that check returns
0. Check the documentation for those parameters and revert if you need more
help.
With regards to backing up every other weekend, perhaps you're better off
setting BackupsDisable=1 and starting your backups with a cron job.
