The S3 bucket used for backups has versioning enable, so that each time a backup is run, older backups are still accessible rather than being overwritten.

This does however mean that storage will continually grow, as older versions are never expired/purged.

In the absence of a way to view/count/purge older versions through the AWS console, it would be useful to have the app report how many copies of the backup are stored, and what the total bucket size is.

A future enhancement may be a feature that allows older versions to be purged directly from within the app.
