Richard Bywater answered: > Inside a job's configuration there is a Discard Old Builds option > which would give you similar to what you are seeing. Perhaps check to > see if that's set for any of the jobs you are referring to? I'm embarrassed that I didn't see that option. And I did find a few jobs with it set, to keep builds for seven days. However, some of the jobs which have lost build information are not in that group. I've now removed that option from all jobs. I'll watch more closely to see if any more job information is lost.
