Something our Unix admins tend to do is move the files along different directories.
E.g. they start in dir1; after succesfull backup, move them to dir2, etc. and after succesfull backup in dir4 delete them. So they should always get backed up 4 times even if you miss a run. Of course your backup needs to start in dir4 and work back to dir1 for obvious reasons.

I want to store some files. I make a new copy every night. I want to archive it back 4 days. So after 4 days, I want to delete the old copy. How do I do this?

However, if i miss a nightly batch and have less than 4 copies, I do not want to delete any?
