Hey list,

i configured a job which should do a backup every month and keep it for at least 12 months.
But when i check the pool and backup jobs there are only the last 3 months available.
Is my configuration wrong or bad? If you need more information about my configuration please ask.

Thanks for your help! Here is the basic part of my configuration:

*list volumes pool=Monthly
