I'm using the "backup.pl" script, which works fine and is a big help.

delete old, backups. I'm using the suggested "-r 30" setting, but a couple of
months into it, I have 60 backups, not 30 :-)
I took a look at the section that decides whether or not to delete a dir, and
it looks
to me like maybe it used to use only a date string for directory names, and now
uses date_time... because the pattern matching doesn't allow for the time
portion.
Anyway, a quick test... I renamed an old directory from:
2006-12-15_01-00 to just 2006-12-15
and running "backup.pl -r 30 ..." deleted the directory as advertised.
I'm not able to take the time at the moment to fix this... but thought I would
document it for others, and maybe someone will come up with a fix before I have
the time to look at it... say, about 3 -- 6 months :-)
