Step 1:  Change the times to reflect what you want now.

Do this with 'nsrmm -S <ssid> -e <retention> -e <browse>'

Step 2:  Unexpire any savesets necessary.

For all the savesets that have passed the old retention period but not
the new one, unexpire them.  This step will also unexpire any volume
that they occupy if it has already expired.

'nsrmm -o notrecyclable -S <ssid>'

Step 3:  Recover file indexes if necessary.

If the old browse period has passed, then the file index information on
the saveset was purged.  You can recover them now or just wait and see
if it is necessary in the future.

Easiest is to use nsrck -L7 and recover the indexes back to the date you
want.
