BackupsBackups logic fixed and reworked to be more predictable. There are now following options (default value in brackets):

• MaxBackupsInLastHour (2) - max number of backups for last hour (if backup frequency less than 1 hour)

• MaxWeeklyBackups (10) - weekly backup is a first backup in a week, in average it is one backup in a week at Monday
  With default settings it will keep hourly backups for last 24 hours, daily backups for last 3 days, weekly backups for last 10 weeks.

Default backup frequency changed to 0.5. Also now your backup settings will not be rewritten by Steam, instead you have `Backup.eco.template` with default settings. Read more
