NetBackup doesn't allow you to do that. 

On the other hand if BudTool doesn't allow you to 
turn this feature off it might violate your corporate's policy. 
Some policies require to destroy your backups after some 
period of time: mail, HR records.

NetBackup doesn't solve this problem either. Nothing can 
stop me to import data from tapes and get old data back.
