how to use good retention policy ?

Hi

We use xsitool:z with pro version.
I would like to have 15 days of backup retention but dont how this argument can help me, i explain :

* If i use --backup-room argument, it just checks there is enought place to do the backup job.
If more VM are installed, this will simply remove old backup. So retention will be lost.

* If i use --del-dir argument, il will remove older directory +15d, but will not prune the data and space.

How can i keep 15days of backup and clean the repo ?

Thanks

Both options prune the repository in Pro version.
