And to be clear, as I wasn't the other day, you must do this for each
saveset for the client. 

For example, this morning, I had to restore a D:\, E:\, and F:\ drive
from 5 years ago (long ago expired).   I had to run the nsrmmm -e and
nsrmm -o command 4 times - 1 for the index, and 1 each for the D, E, and
F, drive savesets.   I then ran the nsrck -L7 command. 

If you don't do it for each saveset, it won't restore those index
entries.

Yes you can extend your retention time on expired savesets.

You need to change the browse time of the SSID/CLONEID to some recent or
even 
better future time (e.g. . tomorrow's date) using
# nsrmm -e -t <new date> (...)
 **AND**
 change the mode of the SSID/CLONEID to "notrecyclable" using
 # nsrmm -o notrecyclable (...)

then you can run nsrck -L7 to recover the index for that saveset
