Make creating multiple snaphot tasks less clicky

Thank you for understanding.

Simply via the UI: Tasks → Periodic Snapshot Tasks

For any given dataset I tend to use a progressively-less-frequent retention scheme:

• every 15m for an hour

• every hour for a day

• every day for a month

• every month for a year

I am currently exploiting recursive shapshots as a way to limit the amount of tasks I have to create, but I would like to fine tune retention for some nested datasets and that isn't possible at the moment, so I'm accepting over-snapshotting or under-snapshotting for some datasets.

Anyway, this feature shouldn't be tied to my specific use case; I simply think that the current clicky interface doesn't scale for areas where there may be a need for a more extensive configuration such as periodic snapshots tasks.

How exactly are you setting up these snapshot tasks that you would like to have replicable?
