Need to be able to schedule the backup of a database, eg date & time when the backup should be started.
The time of the automatic backups is unknown (and different for each instance).
For Cloudant the schedule should allow to run the backup script (based on couchdb)

Frederic, with ICD you can scheduele an automatic backup at any point https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/cloud-databases-api#initiate-an-on-demand-backup. You can use this in addition to our daily backups to achieve a common schedueled backups across your services.
For Cloudant, this would just have to be built into couchbackup script.
