Hi Heiko. Our offline conversation should probably go back onto
launchpad...

As far as I know, you've done perfectly in terms of where to post.

Yes, sbackup advertises its own logarithmic feature as:

keep yesterday
once per day fro last week
once per week from last month
once per month from last year
once per year before that.

Uhh.. looking at my own current backup list I'm not 100% certain whether
or not its doing the "one full per week for last month" either.
Let's keep watching.
