You don't need to do this manually.

You should be able to achieve what you want just by setting:

    $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1;
    $Conf{FullAgeMax} = 90;
    $Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 1;
    $Conf{IncrAgeMax} = 90;

(so that only, eg, 1 full/incr backup is kept once they are older
than 90 days), or an alternative is to just force a single full
or incremental for just this host in the per-PC config file:

    $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1;
    $Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 1;

Even when backups are disabled, expiry checking is still done
(once per day), so within a day you should see the extra backups
get removed.
