I'd like a way to thin out my archived backups that is a bit more
complicated than the facility provided by "remove-older-than",
"remove-all-but-n-full" and "remove-all-inc-of-but-n-full".
I currently have my backup system set to use "--full-if-older-than 1M"
to create new full backups every month. I then also periodically
run "remove-all-inc-of-but-n-full 2" to discard all the incrementals
that are more than 2 months old.
But now that I've been doing this for almost two years it time to
start weeding out the older full backups.
What I would like to do is something like: For backups more than
1 year old, keep only the oldest backup in any given year.
I can, of course, just weed out the old backup sets by hand, but
even that would take a bit of scripting to do safely. At the
least it would be nice to have a command that deleted everything
associated with a particular timestamp.
Thoughts?
