Want to try and simplify the entire backup process that's officially supported.

Having script keep 7 daily, 4 weekly, and 6 monthly pruning as necessary seems like a nice default so backup folder won't grow forever.

I think this will do it

for i in {0..7}; do ((keep[$(date +%Y%m%d -d "-$i day")]++)); done
for i in {0..4}; do ((keep[$(date +%Y%m%d -d "sunday-$((i+1)) week")]++)); done
for i in {0..12}; do
        DW=$(($(date +%-W)-$(date -d $(date -d "$(date +%Y-%m-15) -$i month" +%Y-%m-01) +%-W)))
        for (( AY=$(date -d "$(date +%Y-%m-15) -$i month" +%Y); AY < $(date +%Y); AY++ )); do
                ((DW+=$(date -d $AY-12-31 +%W)))
        done
        ((keep[$(date +%Y%m%d -d "sunday-$DW weeks")]++))
done
for i in {0..5}; do
        DW=$(date +%-W)
        for (( AY=$(($(date +%Y)-i)); AY < $(date +%Y); AY++ )); do
                ((DW+=$(date -d $AY-12-31 +%W)))
        done
        ((keep[$(date +%Y%m%d -d "sunday-$DW weeks")]++))
done
echo ${!keep[@]}

Will reassess in a couple weeks
