There is way to do it automatically with an automation

here is an example of mine

adonno/Home-AssistantConfig/blob/8038c0143c6a990e409951202bb1bda149fcbaf7/automations/weekly_snapshot.yaml

---
alias: weeklysnapshot
initial_state: true
id: weeklysnapshot
trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: 03:00:00
condition:
  - condition: time
    weekday:
      - sun
action:
  - service: hassio.snapshot_full
    data_template:
      name: Automated Backup {{ now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d') }}
