Simply Create a "Once a day" backup with Windows Server Backup and then edit it from Task Scheduler.

1. Create a backup with "Once a day" option using the Backup Schedule Wizard.

2. Click Start > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler.

3. Navigate to: Task Scheduler Library/Microsoft/Windows/Backup.

4. You should find your backup job, right click it and select Properties.

5. Go to Triggers tab, select trigger Daily and press Edit.

Now you have more options for scheduling.

Hi Tommi,

                 I was worried when I saw only Once a day and Multiple times a day option in Windows server backup wizard. Your reply here helped me to schedule it weekly without the need of any scripting.

Thank you :-).
