Noticed that this is an option with vzdump, remove old backups. Will be see an option to enable this at some time?

Having just noticed this and not researched any, but can I employ this option now?
 
This is an attribute of the storage definition (max backups).

check "Datacenter/Storage/..."
 
Thanks, but it appears to "stop" adding backups after that point is reached.. I have used that in the past...

Or is this just something I running into when doing manually or going forward this will behave as "max" number and roll off the old ones.

Just added a new one, but no remove option shown

Code:
root vzdump 140 141 --quiet 1 --mode snapshot --mailto xxxxxxxxxxxxxl@xxxx.com --compress lzo --storage BACKUP4HP


Running manually, remove shows 0 even tho I have 20 as the max number. Maybe I'm miss understanding the results...

Code:
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 140 --remove 0 --mode snapshot --compress lzo --storage BACKUP4HP --node proliant04
