Shorten this retention time - it starts after the volume was last 
written, so you need to subtract the time the backup runs plus some 
extra time for longer runtime than expected. Usually, I'd suggest six 
and a half days for a weekly rotation.

That can break things if you add jobs or a job doesn't run.

This setting should be sufficient.

... and don't forget to update your existing volumes to the modified 
pool settings!
