Hi there,

I followed Proxmox documentation and the Prune Simulator (https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/prune-simulator) in order to create couple backup jobs, but it is not working as expected:

PVE is doing backups every minute, not respecting the schedules as configured above.

Could you guys please help me on that?

The goal here is to do hourly and also every two hours backups during the working hours (Brazilian time), Monday through Saturday, between 8AM and 8PM, keeping 42 or 84 hourly backups (last 7 days), 23 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly and 2 yearly backups.

I did change my schedules like below and it is working as desired:

In that way I'm able to do backups every 2 hours through Monday to Saturday.
