I have tried the -m for media but it indicates to use either the policy name or 
backupID -

I have been attempting to use the backupid with no luck? 
It indicates that NO ENTITY WAS FOUND ?

I then refresh and re-run the images on media and it still indicates
90 days retention level?

Thanks 
 

V:\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpexpdate  -backupid condor-p_1120436686  
-client condor-p -policy condor-snap-resubmit -recalculate -ret 8
Are you SURE you want to recalculate expiration dates on all images
that meet the following criteria:
  client           condor-p
  policy           condor-snap-resubmit
  backupid         condor-p_1120436686
  retention will be changed to 8(1 year)

Continue?(y/n)y
no entity was found

You'll be looking for a form of the bpexpdate command.

Something along the lines of bpexpdate -m <media id> -recalculate 
-retention X
