Problem
The frequency with which backups are deleted needs to be changed.
Solution
Run the following as the zimbra user:
crontab -l | grep -i backup
There should an output similar to the following:
0 0 * * * /opt/zimbra/bin/zmbackup -del 1m --mail-report
Adjust this using 'crontab -e'. '1m' is 1 month. This can be changed to d(days) and m(month) as needed.
