Backups Not Pruning

I'm having an issue with two of my servers not pruning backups. One of them won't prune old backups whatsoever. It's set to retain 3 daily, 2 weekly, and 2 monthly. I'm lucky with this one as it has more space and I have to go in and prune them manually every few weeks. The other server is very tight with disk space. Even a single extra backup is too much. It's set to 2 daily, 1 weekly, and 1 monthly. This server will prune the weekly and monthly backups correctly, but not the daily. It always keeps 3 backups. All backups on both servers are stored locally, there isn't any remote backup.

  Hello, Could you verify which version of cPanel is installed on each system? Also, please post the contents of the /var/cpanel/backups/config file on these systems. Thank you.
