Assuming the specified schedule, volume retention, and job retention...
is there a possibility that you can have a failed full backup on the 1st
Sunday that leaves you without /any /backup for 24 hours? (Previous full
one has expired in terms of retention, which kills all incremental and
differentials for the previous month. So, doesn't it mean that there is
/no /backup until the next one completes?)
Should retention periods be setup so that they are 1 month + 1 day?
Also, it seems that job and volume retention should be the same in most
cases. It appears to not be useful to have one without the other. job
without volume can tell you where the file used to be, and volume
without job makes it near impossible to find a given file... correct?

## File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 4 weeks # same as everything else.
Maximum Volume Bytes = 30G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 185 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Label Format = "Vol-" # Auto label
Action On Purge = Truncate
