Within PBS, there are two places to configure retention:
- in the config of the datastore during datastore creation (visible with
- when creating a prune job (web UI in the Prune & GC Jobs tab of the datastore)
Only setting the retention config in the datastore during creation doesn't seem to actually prune anything, eventhough this also includes
So what is the retention config in the datastore config for?
And what is the proper way to setup automated pruning?
I'm using PBS 3.1.

sudo proxmox-backup-manager datastore show [datastore], don't know how to see in GUI)- when creating a prune job (web UI in the Prune & GC Jobs tab of the datastore)
Only setting the retention config in the datastore during creation doesn't seem to actually prune anything, eventhough this also includes
prune-schedule (in my case set to daily). Creating a prune job works, but then the retention setting from the prune job is applied, and the one from the datastore config seems to be ignored.So what is the retention config in the datastore config for?
