Is it possible to change the day that weekly backups occur with Deja Dup (Ubuntu "Backups")? It is currently set to backup every Thursday, which doesn't always work with my schedule.

It seems that you can't. It doesn't use cron and doesn't have any settings. – Pilot6 Nov 07 '19 at 15:35

Yes,, you can! There's a workaround.
Post #40 in the bug report by Naël (nathanael-naeri) suggested making a manual backup with it on the day of the week and time of day you wish to use henceforth.

2That had no effect on my system. I started a manual backup on Saturday night, but even after that, dejadup still started its backup on Thursday. – FractalBob Mar 03 '21 at 13:05
