that is actually not true, we save the datastore in the chunk archives
as well as the snapshot archives, otherwise we could not backup
multiple datastores to a single media-set.

docs: explain retention time for event allocation policy in more detail
...
'when the calendar event' triggers was too vague, it could mean for
the current media-set or the next time. Apart from that, it was not
technically correct all the time, since we take the start time of
the next media set if that exists first.
The idea here is that we begin the retention when the media set is
finished.
