This is the newly introduced feature where you can configure your retention settings quite a bit more flexible:

I hope this helps!

Hi Stoiko,
i have a problem with setting retention via the prune group qemu option
Basically, when I enter the retention period and click on prune, the windo closes, but the next time i open it it is empty.
I have checked the /etc/pve/vzdump.cron and it doesnt seem to contain any of the keep-* settings.

The previously present maxfiles option is gone from GUI as well.

Doesnt seem like a normal behaviour.


p.s. I am running 6.3-2
