I have read the documentation and I am assuming that the prune settings ie keep last 5 apply per guest vm and not the total number of backups on the data store.

It might be an idea to put this in the documentation.

Can somebody confirm.
Thank you

Hi,

Yes, prune settings are applied for each backup group individually.
Prune settings are datatore wide (not per guest).
Yes, prune settings are configured datastore-wide.
