Usually when someone asks a question like that, they see conflicting  
information or have tried it and failed to get what they expect.

Can you elaborate upon that now?

I think if you read the documentation you may see that one overrides  
another.  Sorry, I don't have time to check just now.

Sorry that I did not mentioned the reason of posting this issue. When I do 
"list jobs" I still see older jobs.
I als have look at "Automatic_Volume_Recycling"-chapter and "Automatic Pruning 
and Recycling Example" But the example doesn't show the client-config (file/job 
retention).
I do not understand the concept of automatic pruning. According to me files/and 
jobs are deleted only when a volume is recycled. A volume will be recycled only 
when there is no appendable volume and the volume is expired. And that's the 
reason I see older jobs. Because the corresponding volume is still appendable. 
Is this correct ?
By the way I am using bacula 2.4.3 on CentOs 5.2
