The other day our incremental backup of about 20 machines (concurrent
backups) took about 2 hours to complete where it usually takes about 20
minutes.  That day the file retention periods for a past full backup
expired and the incremental backups triggered automatic pruning.  I suspect
the autopruning of finished jobs slowed down the database operations for
other jobs still running so the whole thing took a LOT longer than usual.
It would be more convenient if the autopruning could instead be done from a
cron job at times when no backups are scheduled to run.

I set AutoPrune = no for the pools in question but couldn't figure out a
script to initiate pruning of retention-expired file records.  Does anyone
know of a way to do this?

Regards,

Karl Cunningham
