[Networker] Any clues about why this tape expired?

Hello,

I have some tape where we backup some data that we want to preserve during 1
year. The browse/retention policy for the instance clients during the backup
to this tape was fixed for 1 year.

Now, we've found that the mode of this tape is 'recyc' and the expiration is
'expired'. Our server version is Legato NetWorker 7.1.2 under Windows 2000.

If we use mminfo to see expiration information about all the savesets of
this tape we can see that NONE OF THEM IS EXPIRED!! So, why this tape is
expired?

Command to see info about this tape:

C:\>mminfo -a -r "volume,volflags,state,volaccess,volretent,savesets" | find
"HIS101"
HIS101         r    E  13/02/2004 expired    72

Command to see info about the savesets in the tape (all the backups were
done in February 2004 and its supposed expiration should be February 2005):

C:\>mminfo -a -q "volume=HIS101" -r
"ssbrowse,ssretent,ssinsert,sscomp,ssflags,name" | sort
 browse   retent  inserted completed ssflags name

Any idea about this problem? Any solution? I would like to have this tape in
its supposed state at this moment! I would like to have this tape like this
one:

C:\>mminfo -a -r "volume,volflags,state,volaccess,volretent,savesets" | find
"HIS102"
HIS102         r       27/07/2004 28/07/2005 118

Is it possible to change the 'volretent' for the tape "HIS101"?

Thank you very much!
