How to put a limit on the number of snapshots created by Snap Pac? #32

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

Hi, so I've started using snapper instead of timeshift for my BTRFS backup solution. I then found snap-pac after this and it works great. However, I can't seem to find a way to set a limit on the number of snapshots to be created like how I can limit the number of hourly, weekly, daily, (etc) snapshots with snapper itself. Without a limit, I end up having a lot of snapshots which wastes both disk space and space on the output of snapper list. Is there a way to put a limit on these? If not, are there any plans to allow a user to do this?

Snapshots created with snap-pac use snapper's number algorithm. So if you have enabled the snapper cleanup service they should be automatically cleaned up.

I'll try for a few days with this in mind, thanks a lot!
