No you can change the volumes to manual recycle, and you can run mminfo
and gather SSID and use nsrmm -S ssid -w 04/19/11 -e 04/19/11  

This will change the browse and retention policy. Remember if you change
the browse policy to 5 years your index file system will get very large.
Better off changing just the retention to 5 years and leave the
browsable to 1 year.
