be aware that --extra-clean removes the metadata for all but the current chain 
(see man page) so you will not be able to list the contents of these backup 
chains anymore. i tend to keep them for this purpose and manually have a look 
at the backend that even older metadata files really are deleted from the 
backend. sometimes they stick there, never figured out why.
