Hi James,
It sounds like these are tapes that have already been written, so you'll need to start manipulating their info with the "nsrmm" command.
I found some notes from doing this a while back....

What you're aiming for is "nsrmm -s 123456 -e (date) -w (date)" command, to re-set the browse & retention times on the save sets in question.

First you'll need to use mminfo to get a list of the save-set ID's on the media you want to keep for an extra year. Once you've got that, you may need to flag the save-set as "not-recyclable" to allow the browse & retention times to be altered. Once you've done that, you should be able to go ahead and set the browse & retention dates to whatever you like.

This does come with the caveat that the notes were probably made when we were on NetWorker 7.2, and things may have changed since then!
