I have a Hazel script which run three rules. Hazel monitors the backup folder and runs the rules when it sees a change. The first rule sets the colour label to GREEN if the date added is today. This way I know its a new backup and Hazel is working correctly. I then have another rule which turns the label red if the file is more than 5 days old and then lastly one which looks for red labels and deletes them if they are more than a week old. I guess I could now miss out the red phase and just delete them after 5 days.
It's not quite what your after but it does stop your system from filling up with hundreds of backups and wasting lots of hdd space.
