pruning not working

[flexyz]

Hi

I have this pruning parameters:

2020-10-28T00:00:00+01:00: retention options: --keep-daily 7 --keep-weekly 2 --keep-monthly 1 --keep-yearly 1

But it seems to prune file backups from the day before:

2020-10-28T00:00:00+01:00: Starting prune on store "backup-office" group "host/mother"
2020-10-28T00:00:00+01:00: remove host/mother/2020-10-27T13:54:15Z
2020-10-28T00:00:00+01:00: remove host/mother/2020-10-27T14:58:23Z
2020-10-28T00:00:00+01:00: keep host/mother/2020-10-27T17:30:42Z

version:

Backup Server 0.9-0 BETA

Does it not look wrong?

Thanks
Felix

Ahh maybe I can see now why there is more than one on a single day. So if I have more than one folder to backup, I would add the, as an array instead of multiple "proxmox-backup-client backup xxxx" jobs?

Or can I append something to "host/mother/XXXX"?

Thanks
Felix

Hi,
yes you can either:

1. specify multiple directories at the same time:

   proxmox-backup-client backup first.pxar:/path/to/first second.pxar:/path/to/second --repository <repo>

2. specify different backup-ids for the different jobs:

   proxmox-backup-client backup first.pxar:/path/to/first --repository <repo> --backup-id first

   proxmox-backup-client backup second.pxar:/path/to/second --repository <repo> --backup-id second

Note that the directory name, the .pxar name and the ID don't have to be the same, I just did that in the example.

Great and thanks!
