## Describe the problem you're observing.

My drive is now full, and I need to remove (prune) old backups.

However, I do not want to only keep the last 14 days, but two backups per week, no matter, how many that would be.
As far, as I understand the documentation, this is currently not possible.
Would it be possible to implement that?
