How I understand the database/app backups to work, the app-backup schedule 
entry is what governs the retention and storage device, the automatic ones 
govern the timing & frequency (sort of a schedule wrapper for the actual 
application backups)

How I have mine set up (for Oracle), is that I have a full-application-backup 
and incr-application-backup that have their own retention periods (1 month for 
incr-app-backup, 1 year for full-app-backup), daily/weekly pools, and backup 
storage device (real tape on weekends, dssu during the week). The schedules are 
set for wide open (24/7). My automatic backups (daily & full) govern the time 
windows that I want backups to happen, but their retention periods, afaik, 
don't mean much - although you mentioning that it governs how long the catalog 
is maintained inspires me to want to go read through it again.

If I interpret this correctly this means for all "Application Backup Schedules"
(MSSQL,Oracle,SYBASE etc) - backup images are only being kept for 1 month.
