Based on the age of a Backup the Backups will be sorted in one Bucket and based on the Rules of that Bucket will be deleted or keep the Backup.

### Unlimit Bucket (config per Hour)
Keep every Backup

You can configure that for the first X Hour of a Backup livetime. The number of hours is the **minimum** Hours Idun keep the Backups

### Hourly Bucket (config per Hour)
Will keep one Backup per Hour. One Hour is from Min 0 to Min 59, it will keep the olders Backup. If you make Backups at XX:00, XX:15, XX:30 and XX:45 it will keep the Backup at XX:45.

### Daily Backup (config per Day)
Will keep one Backup per Day. One Day is from 00:00:00 UTC to 23:59:59, it also will keep the olders Backup, tha backup closed to 23:59:59 will stay, all newer Backup at that day will be removed.

## FAQ
### Why minimum Hour/Day/Month
If you configure to keep one backup per hour for 12 hours Idun will make sure there will be hourly backups for at least 12 hours. But based on the rules of the next Buckets, which is per Day from 00:00:00 UTC to 23:59:59 UTC there may be a gap between the end hour of the "Hourly Bucket" and the beginn of the "Daily Bucket", in this case Iduna will not delete the Backup files. So ther will be up to 35 Hours Hourly Backups.
