      Hello,

      This is more of a minor feature request, but could we have the backup schedules converted from cron time, to actual clock time? I have no problem writing cron time when creating the backups, but when reading through the backups, its rather challenging to re-read the times in a quick view to allow for easier management (I'm documenting all of my backups, and this is an exercise in frustration).
      this is what I'm talking about btw:

        Just out of curiosity, how would you present something like "On monday, wednesday, friday, sunday, every other month at 4:30AM" or "Every day, every six hours, 15minutes past in january, march, june, september, december" in date format on that tiny space except showing the exact next scheduled time which doesn't tell anything really. Imo the cron time in that view is the best for quick overview. For those who want more details or don't understand cron time can do schedules without knowing anything about it from the edit view and also see the future scheduled execution times in date format.

        Sure i get the idea for tasks that run every day at specific time, that'd be easy but as the examples above show, there can be quite complex cron schedules that would be difficult to show.

          @ronivay You make a good Point.

          What I didn't know, that I do now, I wasn't "naming" my schedules. Once you do that, it replaces the Cron time. So I called my things like "Daily @ 4:30 - Diff" but obviously naming schemes are broad.
