Yes Martin, I do see these messages. less than every other message it tells me
that it has deleted jobs, mostly just 1 job, sometimes 3, very seldomly 4 jobs.
It doesn’t tell me which jobs it has deleted though.
At the same time it tells me it has upgraded the same number of Copy jobs to
Backup jobs and tells me which they are. Having looked up those all of them
were Copies of catalog backup jobs, and - the corresponding Backup jobs are
missing - so I assume that the pruning deleted first the catalog backup job and
then upgraded the corresponding copy of that backup job back to a backup job.
So yes, the pruning seems to do something for the catalog backup jobs, but for
none of the other jobs of any other type (verify, copy) or from any other
client, or any other backup job from the same client.
The question is, why does it merely work for the catalog Backup jobs?
