Perform maintenance on backups (remove excessively old copies to save disk space).

• look into being able to merge the nfs and sokraits/halfadder versions of the script they look to be pretty much cut from the same cloth, verify this.
• do some simple error checking (just in case)

In order to use prune.sh, the following conditions need to be met:

• run as root (or superuser privileges)
• run on the primary fileserver, or either VM Server peer

To use prune.sh, run it with the appropriate data element as an argument to check:

sokraits:~$ sudo /export/backup/prune.sh username

Preferred deployment is through the script that creates the backup files (so it cleans up as it goes along).
