Feature description

Implement a flexible backup retention system that allows users to control the timespan or quantity of automatic backups

Why do you want this feature?

As a user, I want to limit the number of backup files or set a retention period for backups because:

  1. I currently have 215 .json backup files created at irregular intervals.
  2. This large number of files reduces overview and organization.
  3. It unnecessarily consumes storage space on my phone.
  4. A limit of 3 to 5 backup files or a one-week retention period would be sufficient for my needs.

This feature would help me maintain a manageable number of backups while ensuring efficient use of my phone's storage.
