Looks fine to me. I do similar.  Although I do not bother setting File
and Job retention.

Pool {
  Name = UserBackup
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 90 days          # 90 day recycle period
}
Pool {
  Name = UserBackup-LTO2
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 180 days         # 180 day recycle period
}

Pool {
  Name = Images
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = no                  # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = no                # Prune expired volumes
