Can I add prune commands to the options field when adding a job?

[anthonyjknight]

I was just wondering, is prune automatic or do you have to do it manually?
Can I add prune commands to the Options field when adding a backup job?

Thanks

Prune it’s its own job, just like a backup one.

Follow the same steps as when you created backup job, but instead of backup select prune.

Ah, excellent, thanks!
What happens if a prune is scheduled for the same time as a backup?

Noting bad. Duplicacy is fully concurrent.

It might be more efficient, however, from network and storage bandwidth utilization perspective to do one thing at a time and run prune after backup; you can add it to the same schedule as another job and not check the concurrent jobs execution box.
