There's also backup.pl and cleanup.pl which are distributed with hdup - they are configurable in terms of how much history you want to keep, and they are pretty careful about handling unusual cases (say, a backup doesn't happen for some reason). When cleaning up, they make sure that you keep monthlies for as long as you keep the weeklies that depend on them, etc. If they don't cover your needs, I'm sure extensions would be welcome.
