            Bug ID: 23943
           Summary: koha-run-backups --days is misleading
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: Packaging

The documentation for the --days option to koha-run-backups says:

    --days:     the number of days to keep backups around for (default: 2)

Sometimes I do the following: 

1. Rename a backupfile, e.g. from instance-2019-10-22.sql.gz to
instance-2019-10-22-1230.sql.gz
2. Run koha-dump to create a new instance-2019-10-22.sql.gz

This reveals that --days does not really care about days at all, just the
number of files in the backup dir. This means that if I have adjusted the
cronjob to keep backups for 14 days, after the next time it runs, I actually
have backups for 13 days.
