Edit the crontab which you can do via SSH, command is 'crontab -e' and you should be able to see the line which says /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/cpbackup - change the time to whatever you want it to be

You can also write a PHP script by using cPanel's API. This API allows you to use every kind of cPanel features without using WHM admin area. well, you know it depends on your coding style. if you need any help about APIs, please let me know mate. i can help you. regards
