Yo, 

Just a little heads-up in case anyone on the list uses Zmanda ZRM for MySQL: There seems to be a bug in the cleanup script - I suspect it ignores the per-backupset retention time and always uses the default one (but that is to be confirmed yet by support). 

The particular symptoms I'm seeing, is that I've lost all my archives from no-longer existing hosts. All hosts that are still being backed up are fine, but the old archives are irrevocably lost, with the exception of the one host that hasn't been disabled long enough to completely vanish. 

I have of course entered a critical bug with support, and am looking forward to working with them to get this fixed.
