[Automysqlbackup-users] Weekly backups not being rotated?

[Russell J. <rj...@eg...>]

I have a separate script that runs to zip up my weekly backups and move 
them to a separate place. However I noticed that this file seemed to be 
getting a little large. Upon inpsection I noticed that the weekly folder 
held several months worth of backups. Here is one database's folder 
within the weekly folder:

-r--------  1 root root 104173 May  2 04:02 
mysql_week.18.2009-05-02_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104169 May  9 04:02 
mysql_week.19.2009-05-09_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104169 May 16 04:02 
mysql_week.20.2009-05-16_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104272 May 23 04:02 
mysql_week.21.2009-05-23_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104272 May 30 04:02 
mysql_week.22.2009-05-30_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104271 Jun  6 04:02 
mysql_week.23.2009-06-06_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104272 Jun 13 04:02 
mysql_week.24.2009-06-13_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104272 Jun 20 04:02 
mysql_week.25.2009-06-20_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104272 Jun 27 04:02 
mysql_week.26.2009-06-27_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104272 Jul  4 04:02 
mysql_week.27.2009-07-04_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104271 Jul 11 04:02 
mysql_week.28.2009-07-11_04h02m.sql.gz
-r--------  1 root root 104274 Jul 18 04:02 
mysql_week.29.2009-07-18_04h02m.sql.gz


I was under the impression that the weekly folder would hold only 5 
weeks worth of backups. Per under the Backup Rotation section:

# Weekly Backups are rotated on a 5 week cycle..


Am I not understanding something correctly, or is there an error I am 
encountering?

Thanks!
