Interesting idea Constantin. However, perhaps instead of or in addition to your idea, I'd like to have a mechanism or script that would overwrite the older snapshots [u]only if[/u] some more current snapshot were created. Ideally this mechanism would prevent your idea of expired snapshots being removed in some case where the creation of new snapshots somehow failed.
Additionally, by only removing the snapshots after the creation of their replacement is successful, this should prevent the possibility of data loss if there were a major system problem during the creation of a new snapshot as well.
