For pruning, how about to add the feature to rsync.
Is it difficult ?

	--exclude-older=SECONDs
		exclude files older than SECONDs before
	--ignore-older=SECONDs
		ignore any operations with the files older than
		SECONDs before
		differ from --exclude-olders, these files are not
		affected from --include files or --delete-excluded
