Discourse 的自动备份功能有一个名为“备份频率”（backup frequency）的设置。然而，我怀疑该设置实际上控制的并非备份频率，而是备份周期（其中周期 = 1/频率）。例如，当设置为 4 时，我的推测是它每 4 天创建一次备份，而不是每天 4 次。
用户界面中这一点并不明确。该设置下方的提示写着“我们创建站点备份的频率，以天为单位”，这表明该值确实代表周期而非频率。此外，该提示也未说明是否接受整数或浮点数。
我建议将设置（的标签）更改为“备份周期”（backup period），或者添加简短说明，指出设置为 4 表示每 4 天创建一次备份。这样可以消除“最可能的解释”与“字面实际含义”之间的歧义。
It seems quite clear to me. It is the frequency of backup in days.
If you think different wording would help, feel free to propose it.
“The period of time between backups”. You don’t measure frequency in units of time, you measure it in units of time-1 (aka 1/time).
Saying that is the same as saying “this is the frequency of the sound in seconds”; it doesn’t make sense. Frequency (of sound, but also of other things) is measured in Hertz (1/time) and not in time. Maybe I’m being a bit pedantic about this, but in my experience getting the units of measurements right helps a lot in software development and the understanding of said software by end users.
@mpalmer’s suggestion of “The period of time between backups” looks fine to me; it could be shortened to just “Days between backups”.
As a new user, it was unclear what the settings meant. I had to read the description, and then the next setting and figure out how the two work together. It wasn’t completely clear until I read your post about automated backups.
Sure, @jomaxro can take this and make an edit so that the help text is clearer.
