I set the database file/job expire time to 100 years and simply roll the 
media, but we do full/diff/incremental in the same pool.

I did look at putting fulls in one pool and the rest in another but 
decided this is more trouble than it's worth.

Both

Volume expiry.

When a volume is purged its file/job data is automatically erased from 
the database anyway, with the effect being that we can restore any 
version of any file from the backup tapes, up to the oldest Full backup 
(and occasionally beyond).

If your database size is too big to handle then job/file retention could 
be shortened but I wouldn't do that if it can possibly be avoided 
(memory is cheap, the added time to bscan or be forced to do a full 
restore is not)
