backintime uses cron so you can always edit your crontab to customise the scheduling. There is a bug in the current release called "Overzealous removal of crontab entries" which will knock out your custom cron lines, but a fix for that is coming in the next release.
As for having more hourly options, this will need further discussion.

Status in Back In Time: Confirmed Bug description: I've been using BiT for almost a year now and it has worked well. I have the backup frequency set to hourly but would like to have it less frequent, like 2 or 3 hours. I have so many large files to back up that it takes almost 40 minutes to complete a backup. While the backup is being performed my system becomes a little sluggish so I would like to increase the interval of the backups. Daily backup is no good for me as the laptop is not left on overnight so the daily backup never runs. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~bit-team Post to : bit-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~bit-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
