Full backups marked for deletion on GFS scheme

ok, someone has to have an answer for this! I can't be the only person that is getting this. WHY are full backups being marked for deletion when I SPECIFICALLY say "KEEP FULL BACKUPS INDEFINITELY" in the GFS backup scheme?

If I have to go back a year on a backup, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT! I can't have backups suddenly vanishing.

I should add that this is for VM Backups going through the Acronis ESX Appliances. if I backup a VM with an Agent, I don't have this problem.

What version & build are you using?

I've been seeing this on earlier betas - the current one (17437) looks better - though I don't keep the fulls indefinitely.

correction: no, the current beta (17437) marks random backups for deletion.

Carl: Did you already open a support case for this bug?

I did but no answer as of yet and it's frustrating the hell out of me. I put up an AcronisInfo log of my storage node, and exported several backup jobs and uploaded them for review as well as screenshots. This was a problem back when I tried 17318 and it seems to be a crucial bug IMHO. I don't know if it's just with the GFS scheme, my vaults, or what.

I do know that if I used an agent on the VM to do the backup, I didn't have this problem, regardless of going to a storage node or if I used GFS backup. So this seems to be a major BUG!

Carl: Did support resolve your issue? I am seeing exactly the same problem as this, GFS backup job is set to keep monthly backups indefinitely although they are being marked for deletion. I am also using the Acronis ESX Appliance.
