XSIBackup with pruning sends warning

When pruning with XSITools, the subject of the backup becomes 'some warnings were raised', although the only warnings are about the fact that the repo was pruned.
Since this is the goal, shouldn't this just be an information level thing, instead of a warning level ? Now it look as if something is wrong ?

Pruning a deduplicated repo is something not trivial, so we turned the message into a warning.

It seems to me that, once you hit the limit for each repo, it will prune after almost every backup, so the warning will appear every single time ?

Only when you do prune the repo.

Re: XSIBackup with pruning sends warning

We have "--backup-room=700" as part of our job command, so I think it just does that automatically.
Would there be a better approach for this ?
