Hello everyone, I run several backup jobs with cumulative VM parameters on a single job. I probably missed how to do it in a job that groups several VMs, customize VMs individually for days or months, or it's not possible.
 
if you want different prune behaviour per backup job, you can configure the pruning client-side (either in the backup job, or on the storage, or on the node via vzdump.conf). but of course this only works if the server side pruning (if one exists) is more lax, else the server-side pruning will prune things that the client wanted to keep.

GC is strictly server-side and per datastore, it's not possible to do anything "per group(s)" there..
