If the RetainVersions setting for a source directory is higher than for an associated archive directory, the system will repeatedly copy old versions of files over from source to archive and immediately delete them.
Not a problem in terms of data loss as it will only be deleting the older versions and ends up with the requested number of generations in both folders, but a waste of time and uses up SSD lifespan.
This is detected and generates a warning on startup but the system currently goes ahead and cheerfully copies and deletes old versions on each run.
Make it not do this.
