Create a Pool for your annual backups:

Pool {
   Name             = PICKANAME
   Pool Type        = Backup
   Recycle          = no
   AutoPrune        = no
   Volume Retention = 100 years
   Storage          = PICKASTORAGE
}

This pool should be used ONLY for your annual backups.

Only your annual backups should use this Pool.

But I think you have that part (the above for was the record).

What you could do, if all else fails, create an addition Client resource 
that points to the same physical computer but specifies a special Job 
and File retention.  Use that new Client only for these annual jobs.
