Every x seconds, where x is specified in bbstored.conf as 
TimeBetweenHousekeeping.

Send a -HUP signal to bbstored.

What do you think should have happened when you changed the limits. 
What would you like to have done? How would you like to have controlled 
this?

I have server support for adding a flag to certain files and objects 
which means "delete as soon as possible", that is, when they become an 
old version or are marked as deleted by the client. I am intending to 
expose this functionality to the user via bbackupquery.

I'm glad you're finding it useful!
