 This keeps the last 14 days of backups and removes everything older.
 
 ### Remove all backups

 ```
 mirro --prune-backups=all
 ```
 This deletes every backup in the backup directory.
 
 ### Environment Variable

 `MIRRO_BACKUPS_LIFE` controls the default number of days to keep when using `mirro --prune-backups`.
 Its default value is **30** if not set otherwise.
