In this config (it's the default one), we can see:

Interval
This is the time between each automatic backup.
It must have the format number + space + unit.
The available units are t (ticks), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days).
If you put an invalid value (e.g. none, or leaving it empty), it will disable automatic backups.
Default is "2 h" (2 hours).

Cron Task
Here are the 6 cron task components:
1/ Second (0-59)
2/ Minute (0-59)
3/ Hour (0-23)
4/ Day of the Month (1-31)
5/ Month (1-12)
6/ Day of the Week (1-7)
Default is "0 0 4 * * *" (every day at 4 AM).
You could also use for example:
crontask: '0 0 * * * *' (This would make it every hour)
crontask: '0 0 4 * * 7' (This would make it every sunday at 4 AM)
crontask: '0 0 4 1 * *' (This would make it every first of the month at 4 AM)
