maybe another way could be also if in the menu section, you can choose to keep a set number of backups for a project, or to automatically delete, or overwrite, the oldest file, when a new one is created, if it is older than x amount of time. Then you can sort of just leave it, it won't become way too huge, but it would keep backups on more of a time basis rather than a number basis.
It would use a bit of resources as well, but if I recall, you can set reaper not to make backups while recording or playing now.
