Feature description
Cleanup automatic backups, so only the latest x (7?) backups are kept.
Why do you want this feature?
If I enable automatic backups, after a while my backup location contains too many files and takes up too much space.

It would be nice to have this as an option not as a fix change. Based on your example 7 backups means maximum 1 week old data. For me when I messed up, one week's backup does not help to find and solve the probelm. (Especially my contacts do not take a ton of space).
Maybe 1 backup for everyday of the "always past week". And for the olders than that, onebyone backup for ever week of the year - Option - to keep? Just and idea. But this would mean a ton a programming a function that keeps keeping and deleting files.... For me it is simpler just to delete after a time manually.
