I think I have understood wrong when I translate from english to Italian

File and job retention are use to destroy the data, but if Volume have retention period less than them purge the catalog too!!

Now I had used a dump to restore the DB and bscan to add the new volumes

Ther's something wrong!

I have changed the retention on Client:

Client {
  Name = db-fd
  Password = Passxxx
  Address = db
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  File Retention = 6 days
  Job Retention = 6 days
}


I have this log today:
09-Aug 20:00 storage-dir JobId 9020: Begin pruning Jobs older than 6 days .
09-Aug 20:00 storage-dir JobId 9020: Pruned 457 Jobs for client db-fd from catalog.

This client work with 2 jobs, 1 is normal bck and the other one is a Job for the Logs.
The retention of the POOL is 180d:

Pool {
  Name = POOL-log
  Use Volume _Once_ = no
  Pool Type = Backup
  AutoPrune = no
  # Accept Any Volume = yes
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 4GB
  VolumeRetention = 180d
  Recycle = no
  LabelFormat = "DVD_${Year}-${Month}-${Day}_${Hour}-${Minute}"
}

Why I have lose al the data in the catalog?
I can't find these backup in the 'list jobs'

Not setting these values is optimal.
