### Describe the improvement

The settings gives us options to automatically export a list of all packages after login. When the option to include timestamps is enabled, it appears that there is no limit to how many "installed packages" JSONs are created. A UI element to set the max number of backups would be appreciated.

### Describe how this improvement could help users.

A limit on the number of timestamped "installed packages" JSONs would help by keeping the size of the exported-to directory under control (it could balloon in size after many months of exports). Some users may prefer this remaining unlimited, but I would personally prefer to limit this to 30 backups (FIFO).
