Thin out old backups [feature request]

Hi.
Pretty simple request but I don't know how to explain it...
I want MineBackup to slowly delete old files, to thin them out. Like I can set it so it deletes half of the files 3 days old, another half of the files 6 day old, and all of the rest after 10 days. This will help save space so I don't get a 15GB server again. 0_o
The next release is going to keep track of the backups per world and allow you to set the maximum amount of copies to keep. Will that work for you?
...Wait. Can't we already do that?
What it currently does is delete them after a set amount of days. It's not very efficient or safe if the server is stopped or there are no players for a few days.
Well.. I like your idea but it's not really what I meant...
whatever. It's your plug-in and it's still awesome.
