I am creating backup images every few weeks. I'd like to actually do this nightly, but I cant see how that can work from my liveClonezilla USB. I also could save to S3 but can't get that working.

How can I just keep the last 3 images on my external drive>? Can I just manually delete old images on that drive?

Is there any type of app to help maintain/prune the images?

"Can I just manually delete old images on that drive?" -> Sure, you can manually remove old images. An image in Clonezilla is a directory. Just remove those older ones.

"Is there any type of app to help maintain/prune the images?" -> Well, you can use find command to write a script to remove older images, while keeping the latest 3 one.
