Resolution: NEEDINFO:No

Description

Implement a simple retention policy like: remove all backups older than X days.

Retention policy can be implemented in post-backup-data event using duplicity commands like:

duplicity remove-older-than 31D --archive-dir /var/lib/nethserver/backup/duplicity/ file:///mnt/backup/ --force
duplicity cleanup --no-encryption --archive-dir /var/lib/nethserver/backup/duplicity/ file:///mnt/backup/<HOSTNAME>/ --force --extra-clean

Add a simple web UI to configure retention policy.
