      I have a test job where I test the distributed backup
      They are both on a truenas SMB server

      I have it running every 20 minutes and retension set up like this:

      It's been working fine for a couple of days
      But after an update (evening of 30th I think) it started to misbehave

      The day before I had 8-9 Deltas to choose from, today it's a lot more.
      so I upgraded to a6c50 without success

      Here are the 15 oldest ones

      And the 15 newest

      And there are 109 of them. Shouldn't be more than max 11

      And the distribution thing seems odd to me
      All the snapshots on one BR and VM's on the other

      But the T1-LAB-BCK-TEST2 seems a bit empty to me

        @ph7 try to put RETENTION to 1 in the schedule, as you are using LTR parameters

          According to earlier info, it should add schedule + LTR and has done so before
          But I will try to make any change just to have it to reread the conf
