Anyway, the recalculate command supposes you change some of the retention
level scale (ie. the
correspondence between a retention level and a time - fe. ret 0 = one week).
What don't you just change those backupid :
# bpepxdate -d date -backupid bid etc...
If those backups are grouped on several tapes, and those tapes contain just
those backups,
then act to the whole tape :
# bpexpdate -d date -ev mediaid ...
Hth && amicalement - fx.
