Right. Deleting a backup does not delete the associated Google Cloud
Storage files (but does delete the associated blobstore files).
We may provide an option to delete the associated Google Cloud Storage
files in the future (and the default would be False).

Thanks for the response Arie. Once I get access to the Cloud Storage JSON
API, I will have developed my own backup scrubber.

I agree this would help (though the current tooling doesn't allow easy
deletion of an entire folder), but the cron-
To give myself more control and more options when running backups I have a
cron job that calls my own handler and I have that handler spin off a task
to the backup handler. That way I can, based on a config I store in the
datastore, have a lot more control of backup names and kinds and schedule.
I think it should work if you provide the folder as part of the
gs_bucket_name value (e.g. 'bucket/folder/').
Also, gsutil does support wildcard (and delete with wildcard) and the gs
online browser supports deleting multiple files and/or folders.

Arie, the issue is that you can't provide dynamic parts in your cron.yaml
(unless I were to upload a new cron.yaml every day):
- description: brand analytics backup

/_ah/datastore_admin/backup.create?name=my-backup&filesystem=gs&gs_bucket_name=vendasta-backup/my-folder&queue=backup&kind=F
Yes, I agree with that.We are constantly trying to improve it (and this
request was noted).
