Full Version: max number of backups

A feature I would like to see is setting a maximum number of backups, and if this number is exceeded the oldest backup in the backup directory will be overwritten by the newest.

Like in example I have a backup task that runs every day (and also sents the the latest file to an offsite email address), but after a month you have many backups on the server that you don't need any more. If I could set the maximum number of backups to in example 5, there wouldn't be more than 5 backups at any point in time so I wouldn't have to manually delete the backups every 2 weeks or so.

Don't know if others like a feature such as this? Smile
I would like to see this myself. An age cutoff limit would be nice too.
