Pretty Confused about the cleaning strategy on laravel backup ?

[subhadipghorui]

I am using it on my laravel app. I can't understand how the default cleaning strategy works? I read the documentation but no help.
Can anyone give an example ??

Confused - keep_all_backups_for_days with keep_daily_backups_for_days and keep_weekly_backups_for_weeks

What are daily vs weekly backups?
`'cleanup' => [
/*
* The strategy that will be used to cleanup old backups. The default strategy
* will keep all backups for a certain amount of days. After that period only
* a daily backup will be kept. After that period only weekly backups will
* be kept and so on.
*
* No matter how you configure it the default strategy will never
* delete the newest backup.
*/
'strategy' => \Spatie\Backup\Tasks\Cleanup\Strategies\DefaultStrategy::class,

    'default_strategy' => [

        /*
         * The number of days for which backups must be kept.
         */
        'keep_all_backups_for_days' => 7,

        /*
         * The number of days for which daily backups must be kept.
         */
        'keep_daily_backups_for_days' => 16,

        /*
         * The number of weeks for which one weekly backup must be kept.
         */
        'keep_weekly_backups_for_weeks' => 8,

        /*
         * The number of months for which one monthly backup must be kept.
         */
        'keep_monthly_backups_for_months' => 4,

        /*
         * The number of years for which one yearly backup must be kept.
         */
        'keep_yearly_backups_for_years' => 2,

        /*
         * After cleaning up the backups remove the oldest backup until
         * this amount of megabytes has been reached.
         */
        'delete_oldest_backups_when_using_more_megabytes_than' => 400,
    ],
],`

Good one. Got me confused as well. But this presentation screen helps, the "grandfather-father-son" backup strategy...
