Making a log file backup expire

I have a backup device setup (x)
I wish to have the logfile (Y) BACKEDUP to X every hour.
I want ever Y to be appended to X.
I then want Y to expire after two days as I have a
dif_backup occuring 24hrs.
Within EM I am unable to see how this works. Is there a
way within EM? Or did I need to generate TSQL to iniate
this task?
Please help this novice.
BenThe maintenance plans has options for deleting backup files after a number
of days. Or write your own code.
