Description

Since this backup utility doesn't backup diffs, it makes sense that we be able to cleanup old files and retain maybe only 1 week or 1 mo worth of backup depending of needs.

Research direction

Start by reading the repository's backup configuration and the flow that stores backup files. Determine how a retention period such as one week or one month should be selected and what existing backup behavior must remain unchanged. Done means old files are removed according to the chosen retention period without deleting backups that should be kept.
