good idea. you could do it by keeping the backups in the following
manner:
1 file for 1998
1 file for 1999
1 file for Jan 2000
1 file for Feb 2000
1 file for Mar 2000
1 file for q1 2000, nuking the previous three months
1 file for Apr 2000
1 file for May 2000
1 file for Jun 2000
1 file for q2 2000, nuking the previous three months
1 file for Jul 2000
1 file for Aug 2000
1 file for Sep 2000
1 file for q3 2000, nuking the previous three months
1 file for Oct 2000
1 file for Nov 2000
1 file for Dec 2000
1 file for 2000
