(Text deleted)..ow (>0.13.2) one can use --remove-older-than to specify removal of either

  1. all content from backups done before a given time
  2. all content from more than a certain number of backups ago.

IWBNI there was an additional argument, --retain-at-least that would allow one to ensure that backups matching certain criteria were always kept.

Thus, one could remove all but the four most recent backups, but ensure that a month of backups always existed, or remove all but the last week of backups, but ensure that at least two backups remained.
