Personally, I would expect that there are backups for weeks 46, 47 and 48, *if 
and only if* the backup for week 48 was already made (i.e. we are past the 
scheduled point in time for the weekly backup).

But I want to back up a bit:

I think this has the same problem with wording that the existing text has. I 
think "take into account" could mean more than one thing.

Here is some more clear wording: "Keep up to X weekly backups, made at 
<scheduled day of week/time> each week".

It's very clear from that, how it should work. But if you wanted it to work 
differently, then it might be harder to explain clearly :)
