Me too (as JohnL). I need to free up useless disk space. Why DejaDup
doesn't delete old backups when it makes a new one?

Title:
  Delete old Backups

Status in Déjà Dup Backup Tool:
  Fix Released
Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I would like to automatically delete old backups so there need to be
  an option to trigger a full backup every _specified time_ to be able
  to remove backups older than full backup from _specified time_.

  Maybe it would be better to present only an option to define how long
  one would be able to restore from old backups.

  For example:
  I backup my data every day but want to keep backups only for one month.
  Therefore there should be a full backup every month but the GUI would only show, but not distinguish between, the last 30 incremental backups and the one full backup that is created at the beginning of every month. The older full backup and the incremental backups that are needed to make the incremental backup today-30 available wouldn't be shown and deleted as soon there is a new full backup.
