We backup to a NAS and I have it set to manually delete the old backups. I will go in and clean out the older backups every few months or if the file server is getting full. Plus, I have a clean backup of every machine on a USB hard disk from the day I put them into service.

Don't get me started on the NAS RAID level, internal backups and the off site copies of the essential files...
