<ul>
<li>Snapshot pruning output is properly reported when no snapshots are eligible for pruning, preventing incorrect messages during <code>ghe-prune-snapshots</code> runs when the computed prune set is empty.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Please note that <a href="https://github.com/github/backup-utils/">Backup utilities</a> will be retired starting in version 3.22. Consider migrating to the Backup service, which is now generally available in GHES 3.20. The managed, built-in service provides an alternative to GHES backup utilities and does not require a separate host for backup software. For more information, see the <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/[email protected]/admin/backing-up-and-restoring-your-instance/backup-service-for-github-enterprise-server/about-the-backup-service-for-github-enterprise-server">Backup service</a> documentation.</li>
