Hi.
Windows web version.
I have backup with prune option
-keep 0:1800 -keep 7:30 -keep 1:7 -a

if i change to
-keep 0:1800 -keep 7:180 -keep 1:90 -a
Nothing will happens with backup?

Since the new prune settings are more relaxed than the previous ones (eg, old: keep one per day when after 7 days, vs. new: keep one per day when after 90 days) this means you will have 90 days of “full” revision history (in other words: nothing will be pruned for the backups in the last 90 days). This again means that there’s a higher chance to use a little bit more storage (though because of deduplication, there shouldn’t be a lot more usage)

I understand this, but the fact that there are already deleted pieces in the archive (prune operations) - it won’t hurt in any way?
