Basically, I like the idea though I see following issues:

* how to delete snapshots (what order, latest first, newest first...)?
* how to cope these cases where defined requierements (e.g. keep 5GB free) cannot be met
* it's not possible to retrieve free disk space on some targets (ftp)

** Description changed:

- Since keeping enough free backup media space is the main purpose of
- backup purging and maximum single backup size can usually be estimated
- by the user (or even automatically as a total size all the files to be
- backed) it would be nice to have an option to purge backups until
- specified free space or total size of all the files to be backed is
- achieved.
+ Main purpose of backup purging is to keep enough free backup media
+ space. The actual backup size can be estimated by the user (or even
+ determined automatically as a total size all the files to be backed).
+ 
+ Please add an option to purge backups until a specified free space or total size of existing backup archives is achieved.
+ Example:
+ * Purge - keep 5GB disk space free
+ * Purge - max. size of backups (cumulated) 50GB

** Summary changed:

- (whishlist) Purging to free certain space
+ Purge to specified free disk space or backup size

** Changed in: sbackup
