Scope of pruning when using multiple profiles on same machine for same repo?

Hi,

I'm wondering what the scope of pruning is when using multiple profiles against the same repo.

Context: I have two data locations on my laptop that I backup with two separate profiles, to support different schedules of backup. All data goes to a single repo. Each profile uses its own naming convention for the archive logs to indicate which data location is being backed up.

Question: When I select "prune" in a profile, does that only prune the archives for that particular profile and set of sources, or does it prune the entire repo?

I'm hoping it is profile-specific sources pruning :)

Thanks for any insights/confirmations.

The pruning is applied to the complete repository. AFAIK vorta will also list you all the archives in a repository no matter which profile created them. However, vorta allows you to configure a prefix the names of pruned archives have to begin with. You can use this to only prune archives created by a specific profile.

Thank you @real-yfprojects

Just to confirm that I understand -- the "Prune Prefix" option in Vorta will constrain the scope of any prune action to only those archives with the defined prefix, correct? If so, thank you - good to understand.

Yes, it does.
