Dear Francesco,

the upstream author, Heinz-Josef Claes, said there's an error in the
documentation: '2m' means 2 minutes, not 2 months. Valid Values for 
--keepRelative are:

 * s: seconds,
 * m: minutes,
 * h: hours,
 * d: days

so, the correct documentation for --keepRelative should be something
like

   Alternative deletion scheme. If you use this option, all
    other keep options are ignored. Preserves backups depending
    on their *relative* age. Example:
    -R '1d 7d 61d 92d'
    will (try to) ensure that there is always
    - One backup between 1 day and 7 days old
    - One backup between 5 days and ~2 months old
    - One backup between ~2 months and ~3 months old
    If there is no backup for a specified timespan
    (e.g. because the last backup was done more than 2 weeks
    ago) the next older backup will be used for this timespan.

Please note that 61d are ~2 months and 92d are ~3 months.

This bug will be fixed by the upstream author in the next release of
storeBackup.

Regards,
