Because I do not want to add more room ? The total size of the VM's i want to backup is about 400Gb. My understanding was , but correct me if am wrong, that with pruning, XSIBackup would never exceed that space.

That works for job 3 indeed, in job 2 however I did not use the --host argument. I can see pruning starting, but it then just stops. :

I have 3 backup jobs running. Yesterday the first one came back with a warning about pruning, but concluded successfully.

The second backup job is identical to the first one, albeit it to another host. The logs show again that the pruning process was started, but after that nothing anymore.
Job number 3 will not run now and comes back with an error code.

Although it looks like that XSIBackup is hanging or waiting for something, there is no reference at all to xsibackup in the server's process list.

Notifications and errors from the log file:

Job 2 pruning started and seems to be hanging (the job at the bottom is Job 3 that is starting later on):
