Pika backup - How cleanup works

Hi,
I don’t understand what the Keep Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly means.
I have weekly backup.
I was trying different combinations of the above and I don’t understand how it is decided that a backup will be deleted. How do I set that I will keep 1 backup every week for maximum of 2 months?
Thank you

The way borg handles these, is a bit confusing. But the following will roughly do what you want:

Keep Hourly: 1

Keep Daily: 1

Keep Weekly: 4

Thank you so much, I have set it up and will see how well it works.
Btw if I do manual backup, is this also included in this clean up?

yes

and I have to somehow get 20 chars to post
