You can avoid the physical pruning of the data during peak backup hours using sMMDoNotPruneInterval additional settings. After the additional setting is configured, no new data pruning request will be honored. However, if any pruning operation is already in progress, then this additional setting will not stop that process. If you want to disable data pruning even if the pruning process is in progress, then you can disable pruning by setting up the operation window. For more information, see Enable or Disable Data Pruning.
