[BlueOnyx:26546] Easy-Backup Retention Days Problem

[Michael Aronoff]

I am having problems where Easy-Backup does not seem to follow the 
Retention Days setting.

This is causing my FTP account I send the backup to to go over quota 
frequently.

Here is an example of the logs from a failed backup that is supposed to 
have just two retention days:
