To keep all job and file info, you need to set Job Retention and Files
Retention equal to the Volume Retention for the MonthPool.

You said below: "If Job Retention and Files Retention were bigger then Volume
Retention I could see Jobs, which wasnt in reality because they was purged by
volume retention and rewrited."

That doesn't make sense to me.  When a volume is purged, then you can't see
the jobs on that volume anymore (they have been removed from the catalog).
Which browsers show the dead jobs?  Can you see them with the bconsole "list
jobs" command?
