Hi,

In section "24.2 Pruning Directives", Bacula documentation claims that the 
Volume Retention period begins only *after* the volume has already switched to 
a status other than Append:

---quote---
A key point is that this time period [Volume Retention] is not even considered 
as long at the Volume remains appendable. The Volume Retention period count 
down begins only when the Append status has been changed to some othe status 
(Full, Used, Purged, ...).
---quote ends---

I believe this is not true. In the rest of documentation, the three 
independent retention periods (File, Job, and Volume) described as all 
starting at the same point: specifically, at the end run time of a job.

Thanks,
Ivan
