If the situation is a short term one time thing, you can change your
management class retention period for the affected management calss until
the need has passed and then change it back.

Whilst I have a lot of management classes for ad-hoc archives arch_1M,
arch_1y and so on, for any application that has an archive requirement I
give them their own archive management class  that is named by function
rather than retention period specifically so that it can be changed easily
when requirements change
