OK, the new rule will be "keep one snapshot per month for all previous
months of this year and all months of the last year".

"Smart remove" is not that smart

Bug description:
"Smart remove" have just removed all of my 2009 "monthly" backups but the last 
one, thus reducing the span of the backups from more than 6 months to just two 
weeks. I know it's just following the rules ("keep one snapshot per year for 
all previous years"), but this is just plain stupid, guys. From the point of 
view of backup user this doesn't make any sense at all. Please change the 
baheviour to something sensible, like "keep one snapshot per month for the LAST 
TWELVE MONTHS irrespective of what year are they, and THEN one snapshot per 
year". Fortunately I'm not in need of restoring anything right now and I do 
keep separate DVD backups of important stuff anyway, but others may not be so 
lucky. It doesn't make any sense at all to simply wipe the backup disk clean of 
monthlies just because we have a new year.

Happy new year to you all anyway, keep up the good work. I really like this app.
