Hi all,

I need some help with pruning

Screenshot 2025-12-02 081232.png

Above should keep like 18 backups (according to the simulator)

but reallity I have more.. still have a daily backup (with some VMs almost 30 now)

If I do a manually prune using the same settings the jobs will be removed
So I am kinda lost where my error is. :)

if more info is needed please let me know

Thnx in advanced
 
in addition.

It seems the prune job is doing it work for some vms. but definitely not all.

Also maybe good to know.
Job has been created on the pve (with no settings as the system adviced that it was best to do that on the pbs)
prune job is create a few week later.
 
Hi, did you check if the issue is that you only execute the prune job on saturday night? Your intention might be to execute this way more frequently.

No I did not but when I calculate all daily jobs before the 14th of November should be deleted (excluding 3 week backups) but I have daily backups till the 5th of November.

So my guess is it is not a problem with the schedule. Although I do get your point and I will change the prune schedule to daily. (But I do not think this will solve my problem)
