Understand workflow auto clean up job

$

Hi,

I have created some workflows 2013  (with workflow manager) and I have a question about the workflow clean up.

In my workflows, I have custom tasks lists associated to it with differents custom content type that inherit from workflow task content type.

Those content type contains different metadata that users have to complete to go to the next step of the workflow. Data that are in those content type are really important for us because it contains business data. 

I know that the workflow instance disappear 60 days after completion from the workflow menu. So I have created a unique ID for each item in the main list ( on which workflow is executed ) and I add this unique ID to different tasks created by workflow to allow me to link them and to retrieve related tasks.

I have seen on internet that workflow auto clean up job can remove associated workflow tasks and for me this is impossible  because as explained tasks contains important business data. For the moment I have done a lot of workflow in this way and the tasks are not deleted even 2 years after completion.

I would like to understand how this job works and if my tasks are safe.

Thank you for your help.

Alex
