Hi,

I'm still wondering how retention of volumes and jobs takes place. 
Perhaps someone can explain that to me?

Say, we have
- a Pool Default with a Volume Retention of 365 days,
- a Job X with a File Retention of 3 month and a Job retention of 6 month.

On Jul 1st Job X (JobId=12345) runs and backups certain files on volume 
V001. As far as I understand retention
- on Oct 1st all File records belonging to JobId 12345 will be pruned 
from catalog. I won't be able to restore files interactivly.
- on Jan 1st Job 12345 will be pruned from catalog. I won't be able to 
restore files from this job without using bscan.

What I don't understand: When will V001 be pruned? If Job 12345 is the 
only job on V001, will V001 be pruned on Jan 1st? Or does Volume 
Retention protect V001 for at least 365 days?

Regards
Christoph
