Yes, other clients use the defaults; I am deliberately overriding them
in this client.  That is my intention, and I believe it's how it's
supposed to work (overriding defaults is expected by design).

Here are the retention settings for this client:

  File Retention = 42 days            # 42 days (one month plus one week)
  Job Retention = 2 months            # two months
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files

In my Pool resources, I have:

  Volume Retention = 2 months

Since my unexpected Full occurred after less than one week, it seems
not to have anything to do with retention (not that I can tell,
anyway).  I don't have any different retentions set for any of my
clients or pools, they all use the above.

Yes, but they are all suitably old (e.g. last written to in May and
June).  All the volumes that my Aug 2 Full  backup used are listed as
"Full", not "Purged".

I've sent my reply back to the list.
