Backup

[adamb]

Hey guys quick question. If I set the max backups to "2", does that mean only 2 backups will be kept per VM, or 2 backups total for all VM's. Essentially I want to keep 2 weeks of backups for each VM. When I backup finishes or starts I would like to see the oldest backup be removed. I appreciate the input!

Is there a way to override this behavior? In 1.x it was set on the VM level. That it's now set globally is fine, however, in some cases I would prefer to be able to set more, or less, backups to keep depending on the VM and what its function is. For some VMs I only need a to run one backup per week, and I don't need more than a few backups. For other VMs I might want a backup every night and keep a week's worth of backups. Or maybe there's some strategy I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.
