If you hadn't written your own script, I'd recommend you use rsnapshot [1] instead. It is based on rsync. You can set up a schedule with multiple generations.

- claudius 13y agoYeah, I stumbled over it less than a week after I had set up some nice script to delete the extraneous backups I didn’t need. At the time, my requirements for keeping backups were a little stricter, too, due to space constraints, which were not easily implementable using rsnapshot. I guess with my ‘new’ scheme of one backup/day to keep, it’d be much easier.
