# POST BACKUP PRUNE
####################
echo "Starting backup pruning"
${BORG_CMD} prune -v $REPOSITORY --prefix ${RUN_HOST}- \
    --keep-daily=7 --keep-weekly=4 --keep-monthly=6

s/case could be replaced with a single ${SEND_CMD} -z ${ZABBIX_SERVER} -s ${RUN_HOST} -k system.backup.state -o $?
and put the condition down on post-backup prune instead. That way you get actual status instead of 3 masking different errors.

The backup prune should probably execute only on err 0 or 1

Just bikeshedding here...

Thank you for the feedback, I will look into it and improve the script accordingly.
