Keep backup snapshot (exclude from prune)

[l_fish]

Hi.

Is it possible to keep a single backup snapshot so that it does not get pruned?

The background for my question is: We have a prune schedule "Keep Daily 31". So after 31 days a backup snapshot gets pruned. Some days ago we had a security incident on one of our vms. Want to keep the snapshot of the days before and during the incident for a longer time than 31 days for further investigation. Is this possible in PBS?

Hey,

that is already being worked on[1]. If you're interested maybe take a look at the mailinglist[2]. Latest patch on this issue: [3].

Thank you for the information. This is good news I will keep track of it and find a temporary solution so long.
