I have an observation about the choice of retention times for
volumes to be kept indefinitely which I can make most easily make
by simply quoting the Volume Retention comment from our archive
Pool definition:

 Volume Retention = 38 years # Can't find an explicit way to say "forever".
                             # We use "38 years" rather than a longer
                             # period because Bacula's pruning code
                             # (at least in release 2.4.3) does not deal 
                             # well with Job or File Retentions long 
                             # enough to predate the UNIX epoch, Jan 1, 1970.
