Thank  you all for your response. So, I understand that if I have an expired 
tape in the pool and want to restore something from that tape it is possible 
using "bextract" or "bscan".  Is there a way to extend the catalog record even 
if the tape has expired until the tape is recycled?

Thank you.

Also make sure to up your volume retention time before scanning it so the 
volume doesn't get recycled instantly ;)
