How Can I Schedule A Backup LESS Than Daily?

I'm currently using Windows Server Backup (in Server 2008 R2) to an attached HDD in an eSATA dock, which INCLUDES the Bare Metal Recovery AND System State.  There is, and will be for the near future, very littl activity on my server and no significant daily changes.  I'd like to be able to, for the time being, schedule the backup to occur only weekly, but Windows Server Backup doesn't seem to provide that option.  Currently the backup is scheduled to occur daily, but I've only been mounting the disk weekly.  This causes six days of "Backup Failed" error messages, and I'm afraid that I may not be getting everything that I need when the weekly backups occur.

I also have two Win 7 computers  backing up the same way, but Win 7 provides for a WEEKLY option.  Is there any way to properly schedule weekly backups on my server???
