You could do this:
- Schedule the every-day job to run at 10pm.
- Schedule the end-of-month job to run at 9pm.
- Get the end-of-month job to create a marker file.
- Get the every-day job to check for the existence of the marker file.
If the marker file exists, delete it and exit.
If the marker file does not exist, perform the backup.
