As I'm doing backups only once a day, in the last two hours I could only have 1 or 0 backups. However, the simulator keeps 2 backups.

If my observations are correct, either the simulator is wrong (I have not done on-production tests) or the documentation is wrong. In the case it is the documentation, perhaps it could be fixed by something like this:
Keep
And do the same change for every time unit.
That would match the case I am showing here, I guess it would require more tests to check if my proposal is valid for every case.
Or perhaps I got completely confused and I'm wasting my time here... please let me know.
