I was afraid that was the only way... for 230 clients that'll take
forever.  

Thanks,

For a particular client you need to list the save sets in date order. 
For each save set of each client, go back to the date that corresponds 
to your retention period, e.g. 1 month ago, then work back from there to

the latest full backup, and anything after that will not have expired.

The following mminfo command will help:

mminfo -q "client=MYCLIENT,!ssrecycle" \
        -r "nsavetime,savetime,name,level,volume" | sort
