You can use the count quote feature in Akeeba Backup (set per backup profile). From Akeeba Backup's Control Panel page activate the backup profile you want to enforce the quota and click on Configuration. Check the "Enable count quotas" box and use the slider below it to set the maximum number of backups to keep to 3. On your next backup attempt, Akeeba Backup will automatically delete all backup files belonging to that profile except the last 3, including the backup which was just produced.

It's 100+ pages of documentation, it's easy to get lost :)

This is not working for me on the latest version Akeeba Backup 3.1.b3. It stopped deleting older versions.

First, upgrade to Akeeba Backup 3.1 Stable. The 3.1.b3 release has known bugs.
The quotas are defined per profile. If you have multiple backup profiles make sure that you have enabled the quotas in all profiles. Also note that since the quotas are per profile, if you have 10 backups taken with profile #1 and set profile #2's quota settings, the 10 backups from profile #1 will NOT get deleted.
