Subject: [Veritas-bu] changing retention after-the-fact


Greetings!

Is there a way to change the retention period of a normal backup after
the backup has already been run? I realize I could just remove the
tape(s) from the robot to insure that they won't get over-written, but
won't the catalog just expire the tape(s) anyways?
