Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I did not make myself clear. In
order to utilize disk space efficiently, we want to keep snapshots that are
no older than X days old while purging the older ones. My understanding

Taking a step back and in case you are hosted on a cloud - We are entirely
on AWS and upload snapshots, and incremental files periodically, to S3 as
part of the backup job. It gives us durability and the freedom to clean up
from locale sooner than otherwise would require. Currently, we also are

I'm looking to hear how others are coping with snapshots.
According to the doc:

*When taking a snapshot, previous snapshot files are not automatically
deleted. You should remove old snapshots that are no
