Hello!

Is there a way inside the PBS or PVE to set a specific backup as "protected", so that it will for example excluded from pruning jobs etc.?
If so: where can i set it?

Thank you in advance for answers!

Jup. That's what the "protected" checkbox in PVEs is for when creating a backup. And in PBS you got a small icon next to your backup snapshots you can click to set/unset it protected.

If you can't find it, upgrade your PVE and PBS to a recent version. I think in PVEs menau it only came with PVE 7.0 or so.
