Do you know if the retention periods of the new pool (post migration) are applied to the jobs that are migrated. It looks like the disk pool retentions (just a few days) are being used instead. If I specify a 10 year retention on the clients definition for jobs and files, will this not mean an endlessly growing database that never gets pruned.
