Snapshot auto delete based on snapshot count not time
Description
So something that bugs me with snapshots is that if I set them to delete after 2 weeks... and I do no changes. Eventually, I will have no snapshot history.
It would be great if there was a way to configure something like.. Snapshot lifetime 14 days at 1h per day = 336 snapshots. = this will NOT auto-delete them after 14 days. Simply it will create a queue of 336 slots.
What would happen then is if a new snapshot gets added, the last snapshot gets deleted on the list. This way I would always have 336 snapshots per my share, but they could spam years instead of weeks given how often the volume is used.
