Bug Description

its not a bug, more a usability question. When you don't want to backup immediately you choose "backup later" (using the german translation so i dont know the exact title). Nobody knows how long you have to wait for the next autom. backup question. 1 hour? 1 day?
There it would be nice to select a time interval, like 'in 2hours' etc.

I believe the length it uses is '1 day or the next time the user logs in, whichever is sooner'.

I can see why this should be clearer and/or allow the choice of a time delay. I think most users really just want a 'don't bother me right this second, but I do want to backup' button, which is what I tried to provide. I'll have to think about the right behavior/UI here.
