Are you sure? I could swear that I had done that in the past and it worked.

NO but YES, sort of...
NO, you can't alter the management class (and thus the retention period) of
archived files

BUT you could do something like export the node (or as little data as
possible but still including the data you need)
then you could save those export tapes for 5 years...
When you import a node, you can request that is use "relative" dates, so
archived data will still be available for the same number of remaining days
as when it was exported. (that was about as clear as mud...)

I have some clients who have archived files with 1-year retentions. Now they
say these files need to be retained for 5 years.
Is there a way we can extend these retentions without having to retrieve and
re-archive these files?
If so, how?
Thanks, in advance.
