Hi,

Are there any plans to implement a backup retention plan, or something like it?
No Databasus backups for x-weeks/months/etc, that's great, but something like a retention schema would be nice to have.
In that way you can store your data for a longer period without having to keep all the version in between.

From my point of view it can be as simple as implemented in, for example, https://github.com/prodrigestivill/docker-postgres-backup-local:

Key	Value
DAYS	Number of daily backups to keep before removal. Defaults to 7.
WEEKS	Number of weekly backups to keep before removal. Defaults to 4.
MONTHS	Number of monthly backups to keep before removal. Defaults to 6.

More complex can be done, but something like this is easy readable.

Just wondering how to store less and keep more db versions :)
