You should check to see if you are getting the retention periods you
are expecting.
Every job that the same Application backup schedule handles gets the
same retention period.  If you are only retaining for a week or two,
that's not a big deal.  If you want your weekly backups retained
longer than the daily backups you need to add another application
backup schedule.
