I have recently moved two of my servers to PBS and have linked them together, everything is running better than expected, however, every now and then I have to remove the older backup snap from my PBS to free disk space. Now I come from a Veeam software background on which I configured my servers to only keep 15 shots of the backups and on the 16th remove the oldest one.

Can I do the same here as well? can you point out a link or tell me how and where I need to do that, please?

Kind Regards

Hi,
this is what pruning is for. Just set it in the PBS-Server and also run Garbage Collection regularly.

Somehow my Server's screen is different from yours, how do I define prune jobs?

Thanks !
