We have a namespace on PBS where our Proxmox users can put « manual backups », this is backups they want to do before for example starting an upgrade or for any use they need (please note that our current main storage do not support snapshots). Currently there is no prune job on this namespace so it is only growing. Is there a way a prune job can be configured to delete say backups older than 3 months? I can't figure how to do that with the options of the prune jobs.
Retention based on age of backup
- Thread starter tlaunay
- Start date
One uses a pruning job, to remove old chunks and hence old backups. Then a garbage collection job to delete them. Prune jobs can be limited by namespace.

You could for instance "Keep Daily = 91"?

This makes it easy to play around with and visualize different prune settings
