The short answer is that you do a 'bpimport' on the tapes with the images.

You don't actually need to know the tapes.  You can use 'bpexpdate'
directly on an backup_id of an image if you have it.

bpexpdate -backupid <id> -d <new_expire_date> [ other options... ]

It will make sure all volumes that contain the backup expire no earlier than
the new date on that image.
