FEATURE REQUEST

Backup retention policy

Have a way to specify how many backups you want to keep for each time period. For example: Keep last 7, 1 for each week for 10 weeks, one for each month for 12 months.

Instead of implementing a complete backup system with different backends yourself, I suggest using restic for backup purposes. It is made in go, binary is ~5mb, supports a lot of different backends, supports encryption and it supports retention policies.
