[Veritas-bu] Question when importing tapes [expiration dates]

It will reset the expiration to the future.  Think of if like the images on 
that tape were all backed up at the time of the import.  The expiration date is 
then recalculated based upon that import date.  It's a pain but if you are 
aware of if you can work around it.

I've frozen the media (suspend will work also) after performing the phase1 
import.  Good idea to prevent NBU from adding data to the tape.

If you know which images have expired, you can do a more selective phase 2 
import just importing the images you know that have not expired.
