The above sounds reasonable.

You are probably using two different Jobs with different names, which will do
what you describe. For Full, Diff, Inc jobs to work together, you must use a
single Job name.

When a Volume is created it takes on the Volume retention time associated with
the pool in which it is created. This volume retention period is retained
