The job and file retention periods are set in the client resource.

Volume Retention :
| A key point is that this time period is not even considered as long at
| the Volume remains appendable. The Volume Retention period count down
| begins only when the Append status has been changed to some other
| status (Full, Used, Purged, ...). 

You can choose differnt methods to change a volumes status to Used
after a given time or number of backups:

| Use Volume Once = yes
| Volume Use Duration = ttt
| Maximum Volume Jobs = nnn
| Maximum Volume Bytes = mmm

Also very important

| The Volume Retention period takes precedence over any Job Retention
| period you have specified in the Client resource.
