ok ... so I don't have anything wrong that triggered that (?)

I still don't fully get it:

the volumes are in mode "Archive", so they should NOT yet been 
overwritten (in fact they aren't: they are stored off-site).

And even then the related "file lists" in the database are pruned?

That's really new to me.

I expected the content of any volumes to be searchable in the DB.
Maybe that would be too much data, sure.
