We have daily backups that periodically consume all available disk space. Currently, I clean up those files once in awhile using a Rust program I wrote back in the day, but I would like to make this part of a normal setup. We _could_ use that Rust program, but it gets a bit annoying with building and shipping the binary. For something simple like this Python seems to be a better fit. This updates the existing systemd unit to run the rotation script after each successful backup. Currently, in the dry run mode. Outside of dry run, the script will keep 30 most recent backups and delete the rest.
