Hello, I am always reluctant to use --remove-older-than in scripts because there is always the possibility that the clock is screwed up for whatever reason and it decides to remove all reverse diffs. Often I would find it very useful to be able to say "keep the N newest snapshots and remove the rest", which is safer.
In addition, it tends to give a pretty natural balance between frequently changing backup targets and targets that seldom changes. If a target changes relatively seldom (e.g., /etc) one might be more inclined to want to keep 30 snapshots instead of 30 days (the latter of which might translate into just the latest mirror).
