Hello Ana,

I though about what you wrote and I am still wondering what would be the 
problem if a volume gets purged before the contained jobs retentions expire? 
This would remove the jobs and the corresponding files also from the catalog, 
ok, but where is the problem?
I am Just trying to get a better understanding.

Best
