Found the following in ADSM Quick Facts :
Archived files, rebinding does not From the TSM Admin. manual, chapter
on
occur Implementing Policies for Client
Data,
topic How Files and Directories Are
Associated with a Management Class:
"Archive copies are never rebound
because each archive operation
creates
a different archive copy. Archive
copies
remain bound to the management class
name specified when the user
archived
them." (Reiterated in the client B/A
manual, under "Binding and Rebinding
Management Classes to Files".)
Beware, however, that changing the
retention setting of a management
class's archive copy group will
cause
all archive versions bound to that
management class to conform to the
new
retention.
Note that you can use an ARCHmc to
specify an alternate management
class
for the archive operation.

I am not sure you can't change the archive retention.
There is a contradiction in the admin. Guide :
...
Archive copies are never rebound because each archive operation creates a
different archive copy. Archive copies remain bound to the management class
name specified when the user archived them. ... => Here : No rebinding is
done .
...
If the management class to which an archive copy is bound no longer exists
or no longer contains an archive copy group, the server uses the default
management class. If you later change or replace the default management
class, the server uses the updated default management class to manage the
archive copy. ... => Here : If you change the mgmt class, the server uses
the new mgmt class to manage the archive
What is the real behaviour ?

They will expire tomorrow or whenever you run 'Expire Inventory' from
tomorrow on. There is no way to change the archive retention within TSM.
What you should do is to restore the archive and then re-archive it to a
management class with a longer retention period.

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to make sure I understood the archive retention period
correctly so that some of the users at my company don't lose data they
wanted to restore from 12/31/2002. Apparently they archived the data on
12/31/2002 and it has a retention period of 65 days. Today is the 65th day.
Will the files expire today or will they expire tomorrow? Also, is there
anyway to prevent them from expiring (give them a longer retention
period) before restoring the file? Thanks for your help!
