Feature: More specific Backup retention in Key-Delta #4130

Context

Since we now have the Keydelta backup, which is a very cool thing I've been waiting for eagerly, I would like to suggest two enhancements for this Feature:

  1. Instead of having a fixed retention Value it would be good to have them separate for Delta and for Key Backups. Eg. you could say "14 Delta" to have two weeks with daily resolution (If you snapshot once a day) and "4 Key" to keep at least 4 Key Backups before Deletion.

  2. Make the Key Interval/Day configurable per VM. So it would be easier to balance when big VM's need to go through the Keybackup (which can take looong with big VDI's).

Interesting in your feedback on these ideas @fbeauchamp
