Hi,

as we're often migrate VMs between nodes and even clusters we have sometimes orphaned VM backups on our PBS hosts.
Did I miss something, or isnt it possible to prune by date?

Example:
We do weekly backups of VM an the VM gets migrated to another PVE cluster, so the backup of it is then on another PBS host. How to prune this VM on the old PBS server automatically? None of the settings seems to match this VM. What is needed here ist an setting like "prune backups older than X weeks or something". Is that possible?

I have been looking for a similar option as well, but haven't found anything built-in yet. The workaround is writing a script for that, but thats not really the clean way of doing it.

So +1 from me for a feature request ;)
