You will need to use bpexpdate
with the recalculate switch to change existing backups. You can do it by client
name.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Changing backup retention periods
We’ve had a request to extend the retention period on
backups from one of our hosts so that data needed for some troubleshooting
won’t expire before it can be used.
Currently the retention period for this data is 1
week. If I change the retention period in the policy that backed up this
data to 2 weeks, will this change be applied to both future and past backups
handled by this policy ?
Essentially I’m trying to work out if this change will be
applied retro-actively to existing backup images ?
Thanks,
