[PVE-User] Backup retention policy. Was: splitting vzdump files

[Fabrizio Cuseo]

I will prefer, integrated with proxmox backup automation, a retention policy for backups; now you can only leave n last backups. It will be better to leave n backups (only for last week), x weekly backpus, y monthly backups, z biannual backups.
Also a VM-Number-Name based filename (ex: vzdump-qemu-102-webserver01-2015_[...]) will be useful.

Regards, Fabrizio
