Here is a script that I used to run on my index tapes to reset the
browse and recycle times.  There was a bug in 7.2 (and 7.1 I think)
where setting them on the savegrp command line didn't always work, so I
ran the following after my daily disaster recovery index backups.  This
script sets the expiration time to 14 days, but you can make it any
number of days in the future by changing the "14" in the line "$time +=
(14 * 24 * 60 * 60)".  This is written for my pool "LTO Index", so
you'll want to change that to your pool name.

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    # $Id$
    #

    use strict;
    use Time::Local;
    use POSIX qw(strftime);

    # Get dates
    my %dates;
    open(MMINFO,"mminfo -q pool='LTO Index'|") or die "cannot start mminfo for 
pool LTO Index: $!";
    while(<MMINFO>) {
      chomp;
      s/^\s+//;                     # Strip leading whitespace
      my($vol,$client,$date,$junk) = split(/\s+/,$_,4);
      next if ($date eq "date");
      $dates{$date}++;              # Track ss dates
    }
    close(MMINFO);

    foreach my $date (sort keys %dates) {
      open(MMINFO,"mminfo -q 'pool=LTO Index,ssrecycle=false,sscreate>=$date 
00:00:00,sscreate<=$date 23:59:59' -r ssid|") or die "mminfo: $!";
      my($mon,$mday,$year) = split(/\//,$date);
      $year += 2000;
      # Get new time, date + 14 days
      # (use noon to avoid daylight savings time problems)
      my $time = timelocal(0,0,12,$mday,($mon-1),($year-1900));
      $time += (14 * 24 * 60 * 60);
      my $newdate = strftime("%m/%d/%y",localtime($time));
      while(<MMINFO>) {
        chomp;
        #`nsrmm -e $newdate -w $newdate -S $_`;
        `nsrmm -e $newdate -w $newdate -S $_`;
      }
    }
