Backup folder grows fast and large #1870

on MacOS, the backup folder grows fast in volume. For a small database and backup every 15 s, I get about 400 Mb of backups every month
At the moment this needs to be removed manually.
One solution would be a limit on the maximum volume of the backup folder.
Another solution would be an option to automatically remove backups older than X days.

Would also be nice to potentially have an option to turn off backups as an easy first step. For me at least, I have my folder backed up with .git. I'd be happy on working on a PR to turn off backups if that fits the design goals.
