Rico,
thank you for your answer.
I am sorry not to have seen this thread before.
In the thread, Kern said that apparently it will be difficult for him to
find the bug.
Maybe we can fix this manually by prunning with and Admin job just
before the backup. We just need to find the right SQL query :o)
I will look for this kind of solution.
