If feasible without a major rewrite to your scheduler, I would like to request the addition of multiple backup schedules to each world.

Each scheduled backup would include a backup name, the world to backup, and the standard save copy compress options, Optionally, they could have an independent destination folder and filename format, otherwise the backup name would be used as a subfolder instead of the current world name.

This option would allow the creation of the often requested tiered backups, such as:
Hourly backups, 24 retained.
daily backups, 14 retained.
Weekly backups, 52 retained

For those looking for off-server capabilities, this would the allow the short-term hourly backups to occur in one folder, while longer term daily snapshots would be placed elsewhere, such as a Dropbox folder (to bypass the 150M API limitation), ftp folder, rsync backup target, network file share, etc.

Thank you for all your hard work.
