Unfortunately, logrotate does not work the way I would like it to. I have now created a bash script, which hopefully does what it is supposed to do:
#!/bin/bash
keepCount=30
files=($(ls *.db))
fileCount=${#files[@]}
for (( i=0; i<$fileCount; i++ )); do
database="${files[$i]}"
dbarr=($(ls -t $database.*))
for index in "${!dbarr[@]}"; do
p=$((index+1))
if [ $p -gt $keepCount ]; then
rm ${dbarr[$index]}
fi
done
done
Invoked in the respective directory, all *.db files are read into an array, as there can be different DBs per user. The array is then processed in a loop. First, the backup files for the respective DB are read into the array again, sorted by age. This array is then processed and all files whose index +1 is greater than keepCount are removed. This means that the oldest files are always removed and only those that are defined in the keepCount are kept.
Its a little bit more complicated, but it seems to do the job.
