1. Keep the oldest backup I have (presumably, the first one I ever made) indefinitely
Ah, that would be a nice new rule.
2. Keep the last backup of the YEAR indefinitely 3. Keep the last backup of the MONTH for 13 months
I like the wording you do use here. What do you think about his:
"Keep the last backup of each week for N weeks." "Keep the last backup of each months for N months." "Keep the last backup of each year for N years."
This looks good. On the yearly, can there be a "forever" selection? I'd also like a way to manually flag any backup as "keep forever." Something similar to the current "keep named snapshots". See attached screenshot from another backup package, 'BackupPC' that I use for network backups.
