I'm COMPLETLY with you, Jean-Peer. In my case, i got three (3) backups on an external HDD - so if the oldest removed and the actual fails i'm not naked at all! :-) But the space for the fourth backup is sometimes a little bit to small...
This is at the moment my external drive with three backups: /dev/sdd1 528447160 371651084 129952544 75% /media/Backup I suggest in this case an additional question with the possibility to check (or uncheck, but opt-in seems smater) to remove one older backup before the new one is created. So 'sbackup' should search the backup medium for older backups an only if there are more than one AND the question for deletion beforehand is checked AND the backup is older than the delete rule. But it is not my baby, but i think this is an idea how to solve these problem without (i hope!) great chin-ups and alterations and modifications in the source code.
