      Experimenting in the lab.
      Using
      XCP-NG: 8.3 (yum upgraded)
      XO Source: a5967

      I have Rolling Snapshots set. And it seems that regardless of what the retention is set too. Older snapshots are not cleaned up/removed.
      In the screenshots below you'll see that I have set it to 2. But the number of [XO Backup Rolling Snapshot] are more than that.

      Am I doing something wrong? Am I misunderstanding something on a fundamental level? Or is this just not working as expected?

      I am all ears.

        I've finally had time to sit down and do some more troubleshooting.
        It seems that the issue is somehow tied to the backup-jobs themselves.
        Deploying XOA and subsequently importing XO-config from my XOCE instance. I continued to see several issues between both instances.
        These issues pretty much went away, when I re-did the backup-jobs from scratch. And are now much more in-line with what I'm excepting to see. This was done on both XOA Stable, Latest and XOCE

        I am no longer able to repoduce this at all.
        So my guess is that a bug of some sort got introduced with this being a constantly updated from source instance.

        Marking as solved. As I don't believe there is much more to do at this time.

          Indeed it's not normal. Are you able to reproduce on XOA latest?
