There is need for a garbage collector if you have a troughput of images
(getting many new ones _and_ delete old ones). If would expect that most here
dont delete old images.

Apart from garbage collection, limiting the size would mean deleting some
(random) entries when new ones are added. So consequently: If you want a small
thumbnail db, delete the file and start with 0, all will be regenerated... As
for backup, the indication would be to preserve the processing time invested in
creating the thumbnails. There is no extra info to be backed up, backup is
needed for the main database and the image files.
