It seems the current code doesn't do anything beyond daily granularity. As a consequence, each day that has backups retained, retains all of them.

I'd be nice to handle this, perhaps by doing a sort on $LIST and then keeping only the last backup of each day?

From man bash:

       ((expression))
              The  expression  is  evaluated  according to the rules described below under ARITHMETIC
              EVALUATION.  **If the value of the expression is non-zero, the return status is 0**; other‐
              wise the return status is 1.  This is exactly equivalent to let "expression".

Combined with set -e this causes the read loop to exit after the first line.

0f14bfa removed the if keyword in front of the [ "$VERBOSE" -eq 1 ] statements. Because this check has a negative return code when $VERBOSE=0 and set -e is used, the script exits prematurely upon the first use of echo_verbose.

I forked this repository to fix #7 and #8. I also added some features, like improved logging and configuring the daily, weekly and monthly timings.

When I ran the tsar command an error was produced:
