Description

Backup is scheduled on a weekly basis, i.e. a full backup is run at least once a week (7 days).
Due to this hard-coded behavior a retention of a number of days not multiple of 7 could leave a full set more than expected.
As an example, setting it to 30, will maintain 5 full sets instead of 4, because to restore a file from 29 days age the full backup from 35 is needed.

I'd like to have theese options:
Never
1 week
2 weeks
4 weeks (or one month)
2 months
6 months

Maybe also 1 year

DB values should be set to: 7,14,28,56,168,(364 for one year).
