Description

Hi,

I've tried to look through the docs and the code for a "max amount of backups", or "max amount of space" before backup-deletion.

Would you consider to expand the scope to include that?

(Today I filled up our server, by creating a backup every 30 minute :smile:. I guess it's overlapping a bit with restic, but I'd like to keep it simple)

Thank you for the solution, btw.

Research direction

Start by reading the documentation and code that define the PRUNE_BACKUPS_* settings. Clarify whether the limit should be a backup count, a storage-space threshold, or both, then verify that backup deletion enforces the agreed limit without affecting backup creation.
