Just to clarify your request: what's happen when your FullFile volume hit their retention, aren't they prune and purged ? Which is what (I guess for the moment) the documentation expect. A normal volume retention recycle happen.
Jobs that have `priorjobid` not equal to zero are jobs that are a copy or migration, allowing you to find the one that have not yet been migrated. On Tuesday, 1 April 2025 at 09:37:50 UTC+2 Leo L.
