I recently(last year) modified retention periods for a few clients to 5 years (legal reasons). The need to keep all tapes for the last year remains but I no longer need to retain new tapes for the extended period. Can I change the retention period for the clients back to a shorter period and not affect last years retention periods. I want to maintain the 5 years retention on about 12 months worth of tapes but all new tapes changed to just 1 year.

Absolutely. The expiry of a save set is first calculated at the time of backup for each save set and stored in the media database. So existing backups are unaffected by the configuration in your client resources.
