I have thought about this before, and would rather not add this feature directly to backupy for a few reasons:
- I currently don't have the time to test and maintain this feature with the same level of reliability you can expect from the rest of backupy
- From a user design standpoint I am trying to keep it simple and minimise the number of features and options
- There are other tools that can achieve this such as maid or you can write your own
Here's a short example for your use case that you can keep in and run from the .backupy
folder (I have not tested this)
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from datetime import datetime
from os import listdir, path
from shutil import rmtree
from time import time
def clean(base_path):
now = datetime.fromtimestamp(time())
for dir in listdir(base_path):
if (now - datetime.strptime(dir, "%y%m%d-%H%M")).days > 7:
rmtree(path.join(base_path, dir))
clean("Archive")
clean("Trash")
from backupy.
I'll leave this open and may get to it someday, and if I do, I would also add the option to keep the X most recent versions of each file, and keep Y versions per week, month, year, etc.

I respect the preference to not include it for the reasons you've outlined. Thank you for providing this small Python script as a work-around. With a modification or two on my end, this will fit my use case perfectly.
