Here are two ways:
- manually start a backup at the preferred time, then subsequent backups
will occur after that; however, 3am doesn't make this a convenient option
- in the web interface, assuming no backup is running, select
stop/dequeue backup and enter the number of hours until a bit before 3am.
That will delay the next backup until then.
If you want a truly fixed time for full backups, you could use cron to run
BackupPC_serverMesg to start a full backup, and set $Conf{FullPeriod} to
more than 7 so that the automatically scheduled full never happens.
