Hi Randy,
It all depend on how you have defined the retention.
I found a good article which explain how retention works with Bacula
http://dan.langille.org/2010/02/08/bacula-retention-periods/
Also, it worth having a look at Bacula documentation
For my understanding, even if you "delete" a client, and your retention are
setup correctly, you'll not lose anything.
Hope it helps
Regards
Davide

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity
planning reports. https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/305295220;132659582;e
