Hello

when ticking the box purge (VM) i get the following error

Parameter verification failed. (400)

purge: property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties

What could be the problem?

can you please try to upgrade your node to the latest version and re-try again?
Bash:
apt update && apt full-upgrade
 
did that and restarted the cluster, the following happens:.

+ this error message:

Code:
May 26 15:13:20 RMPHLPVE2 pveproxy[1428]: file /etc/pve/storage.cfg line 4 (section 'local') - unable to parse value of 'prune-backups': unexpected property 'prune-backups'

it seems your versions are still too old, can you please post the pveversion from both nodes again?
 
Hey thanks for all the help we fixed it, on one node the repo: deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-no-subscription was missing, and therefore the versions were different.

Code:
mg@RMPHLPVE1:~$ pveversion -v proxmox-ve: 6.4-1 (running kernel: 5.4.114-1-pve)

Vs

Code:
mg@RMPHLPVE2:~$ pveversion -v proxmox-ve: 6.0-2 (running kernel: 5.0.15-1-pve)


After putting in the missing repo and updating all the hosts we were able to use backup/purge feature without any complications
