92       when   When  to  process  each  configuration file. The value used here
93              will be applied for each configuration file. It is  possible  to
94              override  this  "when" in each configuration file, see also sec‐
95              tion "Scheduling" in backup.d(5).
96
97              For example:
98
99                when = sundays at 02:00
100                when = 30th at 22
101                when = 30 at 22:00
102                when = everyday at 01            <-- the default
103                when = Tuesday at 05:00
104
105              These values for 'when' are equivalent:
106
107                when = tuesday at 05:30
108                when = TUESDAYS at 05
109
110              These values for 'when' are invalid:
111
112                when = tuesday at 2am
113                when = tuesday at 2
114                when = tues at 02
